Poor Man's PolyBox™

thingiverse

UPDATE 22APR18: Due to friction issues, I've abandoned the traditional spool holder at the bottom and replaced it with a rod and support brackets that can be securely attached using M3 screws or superglue to the sides of the container. To enhance feeding and loading, I've also relocated the push-fit connectors to the lid (top) for smoother operation. As an avid Maker, I needed two dry filament storage boxes that would not only hold my filament but also feed my Mosaic Palette+, a device that cleverly splices four different filament colors/types into one continuous 1.75mm piece. This innovation allows any 3D printer to create breathtaking, colorful designs - provided the extruder accepts 1.75mm filament. Unable to justify spending $70 each on two high-quality Polymaker PolyBox containers, even though I own their excellent Polysher and frequently use their Polysmooth filament, I opted for a more cost-effective solution. This design can be had for less than $20 on Amazon, and the STL files are simple to print on any 3D printer. DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation with the companies mentioned above; I simply reference them as points of comparison when creating these free STL files.
