Ikea Samla Filament Dry and Storage Box To Print From

thingiverse

The dry boxes I've discovered so far haven't met my requirements, so here's my take on that. This box allows for direct printing from within it. To reduce friction when working at imperfect angles to the printer, I integrated a filament guide using MR73ZZ bearings. The parts attached to the walls are designed with an angle in mind to account for the skewed walls of the Samla box. The filament holder is designed to accommodate a M8 rod and uses F8-16M axial bearings. Check out the "remixed from" section. The top gets clamped to the box using window seal, and I remixed the Samla clips from @Wookbert to factor in the seal. You'll need: * an Ikea Samla box (I use 45l) * for 6 spools that fit in the 45l size: 24 MR73ZZ, 12 F8-16M * M8 threaded rod, 2* ~38cm * filament teflon tube * printed parts * 20 M5 screws, 12mm length * 20 M5 nuts * optional: silica gel If you experience the issue where the M8 rod turns when pulling a spool, use some nuts to prevent that (see photo). Of course, you can use any other spool holder inside the box. I've been using this setup on a daily basis and I'm extremely satisfied with it.
