Heavy-Duty Air-Tight Filament Spool Case

<h4>Heavy-Duty Air-Tight Filament Spool Case</h4> <p>Having used a fair few spools of moisture sensitive materials over the years I am getting a little bored of constantly drying the same filament spool again and again. The Heavy-Duty Air-Tight Filament Spool Case is designed to enclose a single standard 200mm spool in an air-tight enclosure.</p> <p>The standard design allows for 65mm wide spools with a 50mm centre. You can alter this by adding or removing layers and editing the spool base.f3d file. Remember to adjust the screw lengths if you do make changes. Designed for<strong>1.75mm</strong> filament. Adjust in Fusion 360 if you would like to use 2.85mm filament instead.</p> <p>You will need access to a laser cutter. I have laid-up all the parts, excluding the two caps, to fit onto a single 900mm x 600mm sheet. The design uses<strong>5mm Cast Acrylic Sheet</strong> but you can use just about any thickness you like, just remember to recount the number of components you'll need. The Cork Seal is made from<strong>2mm Cork Sheet</strong>.</p> <p>I highly recommend making the laser cut parts first and measuring the thickness of the 5 smallest parts. I have found that the tolerance for the acrylic is pretty bad. Edit the bowden.f3d file and create one to match the measured gap.</p> <p>After you have assembled the case cover the inside with silicone sealant to keep out any moisture. You can add a spot of glue as you assemble the case to help keep things together. Make sure you use a glue that isn't quick-set and allows time for you to finish the assembly.</p> <p>Print with your favourite thermoplastic | <a href="http://e3d-online.com/All-Filament">http://e3d-online.com/All-Filament</a></p> <p>Refer to<strong>Assembly_Photos.zip</strong> for guidance when building the Spool Case. Dry assemble before gluing together.</p> <p>I have exported Fusion 360 .F3D files for each component so you can edit sketches and modify things to your own design.</p> <p>Hardware Required.</p> <p>6 x M4 30mm Hex Stand-Offs.<br/> 4 x M4 20mm Hex Stand-Offs.<br/> 12 x M4 40mm Button Head Hex Screws.<br/> 14 x M4 12mm Button Head Hex Screws.<br/> 6 x M4 Square nuts.</p> <p>1 x M8 75mm Bolt.<br/> 2 x M8 Washers.<br/> 1 x M8 Hex Half nut (Optional, used with thinner spools).</p> <p>2 x <a href="http://e3d-online.com/608ZZ">608ZZ Bearings</a>.</p> <p>1 x <a href="http://e3d-online.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=threaded%20bowden%20coupling">Threaded Bowden Coupling</a>.<br/> 1 x <a href="http://e3d-online.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=ptfe%20tubing">Short Length of PTFE</a>.<br/> 1 x O-Ring 10mm x 2mm (optional).</p> <p>1 x 1/8 BSP Tap.</p> <p>1 x Acrylic Glue.<br/> 1 x Silicone Sealant.</p> <p>Alternatively there is the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1810823">SpoolWorks Scaffold Soluble Support Spool Carrier</a> which can be used with most other spools.</p> <p><a href="http://steps-per-mm.xyz"></a> Love 3D printing?
