Ultimaker 3 Drybox

cults3d

I completed my Drybox for my Ultimaker 3 using an original spool holder with NFC function and some additional storage for two more spools. I used various designs, so first I'll give credit where it's due: @UltiArjan https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1837907 I borrowed his dehumidifier basket, but had to modify it to fit my dehumidifier. @T70E https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2559491 I used his Ultimaker 3 Spool Holder Bracket; he did an awesome job, and I used it as is. The parts you'll need: - The box is a 'Orthex Clipbox Smart Store Classic 31' with 50 x 39 x 26 cm dimensions. - The dehumidifier is a 'Pingi LV-A300LC', typically used in cars; it's rechargeable. - 4x angle sheet metal to support the partition boards - 2x PVC board (8 mm) with approximately 40 x 8 cm, cut on an angle of 85° - Strong double-sided duct tape (I used '3M VHB Tape 5952F') Q&A: - Why is there a base under the spool holder? -> The bottom (or now the back) of the box where the spool holder is mounted will bend when the front of the spool holder isn't supported by a base. Why don't you mount the spool holder deeper to avoid using a spool holder base? -> When loading/unloading a spool, you need to pull up the front part of the spool holder; therefore, space below is necessary. The base of the spool holder is not mounted; it's just sitting there. Why is there just a hole and no filament outlet? -> I initially made some outlets but found that the filament was at a high angle, causing jams. I think the dehumidifier can handle this small leak. Why do you use two PVC boards instead of one big board? -> I don't want to seal up the two parts of the box.
