One more rubbermaid dry box

thingiverse

I reside in a humid area and my PLA strings wildly out of control. Fed up with it, I constructed a dry box. While numerous existing designs are available, creating your own can be enjoyable. My objective was simplicity combined with a sleek appearance. The brackets are connected via M3 socket head bolts. The filament passes through a push-connect tube fitting I had on hand. The axle brackets are designed to function in conjunction with 8mm axles up to 1" or possibly even larger diameters. I merely selected the nearest wooden dowel from my garage and it is sufficient. The components include M3 threads and 1/8" NPT threads for the tube fitting. I employed Cura's post-stretch script to achieve dimensional accuracy within 0.02mm, resulting in a perfect thread fit, so they may be somewhat tight with other slicers. I carved gaskets from foam used to insulate wall outlets, mainly to assist the flat components conform to the slightly curved container. I utilized one of these for a humidity gauge. It contained a solder ball rattling around inside, but was simple enough to disassemble and it appears to work adequately. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QC7JRDP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The OpenSCAD files utilize the quickthread library from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2277141
