Model Overview & Print Notes

Summary

Drybox for storing and printing filament, using the Sistema® KLIP IT™ 5.5L/185oz plastic container.
This is an airtight, high-quality tub made in New Zealand. It is the perfect size to comfortably house 1kg spools and desiccant, and is widely available.

Features:

  • For spools with hubs from Ø48-Ø58mm that are up to 77mm wide, which fits all popular reels up to 1 kg, including Bambu, Sunlu, eSun, Polymaker, Prusa old and new, Siddament, etc.
  • Two large desiccant sachet baskets keep filament dry for longer.
  • Two alternative clip-in hygrometer mounts for round and rectangular hygrometers.
  • Sealed horizontal and downward angled filament ports for M6 pneumatic fittings using 4mm Teflon tube. Allows placing the drybox above or next to the printer.
  • Plugs for the filament ports keep interior sealed extending life of the desiccant when not in use.
  • Feet which let the container stand upright and that can also clip on to a 2020 extrusion.
  • The container stores and nests as usual.
  • Sealed 608 bearings ensure smooth unwinding without run-on.
  • 3d printed center-marking guides for accurate and quick hole placement.
  • Includes a simple, temporary spool holder to use while the reel drum is made. This works okay with plastic reels but is a bit of a struggle with cardboard ones; print two TEMP FLANGE FOR CARDBOARD REEL.STL for pain relief.

Notes:

  • All the parts are in the correct print orientation.
  • Use thicker layers for larger parts, e.g., reel drum and desiccant baskets to reduce print time.
  • Use nominal supports for most parts if required.
  • Desiccant baskets print without supports.
  • To move the filament ports to the other side of the tub, mirror the two ports and the port drill jig in the slicer.
