Spool Base for PLA Dry Storage Bin

thingiverse

I designed this dry box to allow filament to pass through its base, rather than the container itself. This enables me to keep my containers unmarred and run filament with the box turned off if needed. It also simplifies changing filament spools. This design was created using Tinkercad. Edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/lmb9MKh53Gg It is intended for use with a Rubbermaid 16-Cup Modular Dry Food Storage Zylar Container, available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BEUDWI2. Note that the fit isn't tight, but it still works well without desiccant. In my house's +/- 10% humidity range, I've seen no issues. I use a desiccant from Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0LL9WS to maintain an enclosure humidity level of around 10%. Currently, the hole for the 5mm Male Thread 4mm Push In Joint Pneumatic Connector Quick Fittings is slightly loose. I plan to shrink it by about 0.2mm and test again before reposting. The fittings can be found at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M2DKJTU. I use PTFE Tubing from Amazon, available at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CUPV90M.
