This bespoke Single Spool Filament Dry Box comes prebuilt, taking the time and effort out of making your own storage solution. Provides a consistent low humidity environment for your 1.75mm 3D filament.
Appearance may vary, we use a range of hygrometers, colour of filament and containers but all have the same dimensions.
This box will fit a limited range of filament roll sizes from 250g up to 1kg. See image measurements to check if your spool will fit.
Width up to 6.3cm (you may need to adjust the spacing of the bearings)
Height less than - 21cm
Distance between outer and inner rim - between 6-8cm
If you are unsure just send me a message and I can measure it up against the box.

Q&A
Q. What weight of filament does this box take?
A. I have tested it with Monoprice PLA+ 1kg and Amazon Basicfil PLA 500g both work very well. You will need to adjust the spacing of the bearings to accommodate thinner rolls of filament.
Q. How often do I have to recharge the silica bag?
A. Provided the silica is not exposed to the open air for a long period of time, it shouldn't need recharging for at least a year. If however, you do notice the humidity creeping over 30% (wait at least 24hrs after opening the box for an accurate reading) then it can be as easy as popping it in the microwave.
