Rubbermaid Drybox remix

thingiverse

I searched all of Thingiverse for the best designs to store filament to keep it dry. The standard seems to be a 21 cup Rubbermaid container. I wanted a good roller system inside and as few holes going through the container as possible. I put together the following pieces from others designs. I tried to post remixes,but Thingiverse was not working correctly at the time and would not permit me to do so (big surprise) OneEyeDesign had a great roller mount for the spool. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3988583. I liked the Dry Box screwless grommet for PTFE tube by ukwebb https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2170536 for a simple exit system for the filament. Drybox PTFE Cap by heavynets was a good way to seal the PTFE tube when not feeding. I did not change the roller filament spool, download the files from there. I did make a mod to the screwless gromment, I enlarged it so that I could mount a Bowden tube coupling on the end. This secures the tube and makes it more secure. I also wanted to make the PTFE caps easy to identify the filament type.
