Industrial Style Dry Box Spool Support Holder and Filament Guide

thingiverse

I designed my own dry box parts because I wanted to master the design and printing workflow using Fusion 360, Octoprint, and my Prusa i3 MK3. I also desired a unique design that reflects my personal style. These custom-made parts have an industrial look and feel, and they're remarkably simple - no screws, nuts, bolts or pneumatic fittings are required. All you'll need is the printed parts, a box to store your filament, a 45mm diam. or smaller tube or rod for holding spools, some desiccant, filament, and a length of 2mm ID x 4mm OD PTFE tubing. As this was my first design project, I'm eager to hear your thoughts on it. If you noticed that something is missing from the photo of the printed filament tube holder, you're correct - I added tabs to the bolt and slots to the plate for retaining the bolt while turning the nut. Unfortunately, I forgot to capture this modification in a photo, but rest assured that your part will be designed with slots for the bolt retainer tabs to fit into perfectly, unlike the one shown in the picture.
