thingiverse

Parts for My version of the food storage PLA container. Reusable centers for Eryone .5 and 1kg plastic spool. Uses plastic water pipe or conduit (about 25mm outside) as the shaft because I had a bunch lying around. (loose fit) Using https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B087FBCNKN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 as the container. These temperature and humidity monitors https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B083MV7TZF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and these for the tubing and outlet. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07PV8754Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The spool centers screw together so can be reused. Short for .5kg and long for 1kg spools. The Overture centers are for the 1kg cardboard spool. For the bearing find the middle of your containers line up the drill guide and drill holes. I use a 1/8" drill into the container. 3x8mm flat head screws into the plastic usually holds things. If not a nut can be added or use a 4mm screw.. A 1 5/8" (41mm) hole saw is a nice fit for the temp/humidity monitors. A 7/32" drill gives a snug fit to screw in the brass fitting. I divide the tubing into 3 as that length works for my setup. I add some loose reusable desiccant (like this https://www.amazon.ca/Wisesorb-Reusable-Indicating-Desiccant-Beads-Rechargeable/dp/B084WZ24PF/ref=sr_1_16?crid=3OEPR32M1PRFS&keywords=desiccant&qid=1662125640&s=industrial&sprefix=desic%2Cindustrial%2C149&sr=1-16 ) to the bottom. I've upgraded to a direct drive and this set up seems to work pretty good. With the longer tubing of the original drive the pull plus push could occasionally cause problems.
