Slim Anti-Tangle Dual Spool Holder

Why I Did This: Dasfilament.de overfills their #MasterSpool refills to 850g, which is why they still deliver the best refills I know. A freshly refilled spool is always in danger of filament jumping over the edges. Mark Rehorst and Graham Watson have both designed spool holders that could prevent this from happening. (I had to invert Mark's concave roller concept because my spools are overfilled.) IKEA now has cheap, airtight containers (365+ 10.6l / 11 qt, No. 103.930.64) and the Lid is No. 303.930.63. The IKEA container can accommodate two #MasterSpools or regular 750g ones like the Hafner SD200K used by Innofil and Formfutura. Squeezing those two spool, held by individual Anti-Tangle Spool-Holders into one of those 365+ Dryboxes required a new design. Drawbacks: RichRap didn't design the #MasterSpool to run on the edges (where the "elephant foot" is located) - you'll have to properly deburr your spools. There's no room for "rechargeable" de-humidifiers, but using "darkytoothpaste's silica gel bottle" inside the spools combined with collected desiccant from various bags works for me. I regenerate the silica in the Microwave oven.
