The Ultimate Spool Holder Dry Box

thingiverse

I've been using TUSH, The Ultimate Spool Holder, with great success and wanted to create a dry box based on that concept while minimizing the number of holes in the sealed container. I found the "Hefty 20qt Filament Box" project and decided to remix it for the Sterlite Gasket Box commonly found at Target. However, I was disappointed by the performance of the 3D printed rollers, so I made some 608 bearing holders that attached to the 5/16'' rod from Home Depot. The filament taps require no screws and only one 22mm hole per unit, an idea borrowed from the Hefty project. I left them unchanged and placed the caps on the inside of the box when not in use. Filament Tap: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2139021 Here's what you need to get started: * 5/16 inch Plain Steel Round Rod from Home Depot (or any source), cut into two lengths of 12.5 inches each * Sterlite 20qt Gasket Box with latches ($7.99): Target Item Number 002-02-0819 * Desiccant Packets: Amazon B074BG1T5P * 608 Bearings: Amazon B07211VH78 To print the parts, you'll need to make: * 2 sterlite-rod-holder units * 4 608-Sides per roll of filament * 1 Desiccate Basket (or simply place the packets in the bottom) Some notes on my build: 1. I used Amazon B06XKDD4WS for attaching the Desiccant Basket, but it fails occasionally, so I'm looking for alternative solutions. 2. To glue the bearing sides together, I used Loctite Plastic Bonding System (Amazon B000Y3LHXW). 3. I used craft foam with adhesive on one side for the gasket seals, available at Michaels M10032002.
