Home Brew Filament Dry Storage

thingiverse

This is a stack that includes a perforated tube with a diameter that fits the inside ring of most filament rolls. It has a screw top; a large chamber; and a screw on bottom jar to catch liquid. A cheap Sterilte 20l clear bin fits several stacked rolls of filament; a cheap package of Dollar Tree "moisture eliminator" just fits in the large tube. It won't substitute for an electric dryer box to fix wet filament but it should keep filament dry between uses. It is designed to be printed with no supports, no bed adhesion (no rafts, no brims) and common PLA. For the long tube, I have sometimes lower the large tube 1.5mm into the bed (z= -1.5 in Cura) if I have trouble with adhesion.
