#3D Dry box #3D


 

Getting there.

I used a you tube link sent via Fast Eddie , Thanks.
Using a reptile heater pad and fitted a humidity/temp gauge.
The frame ( 3 pieces) and spool holders ( 2 pieces) will all fit in a snap on lid and box, a 17 Liter ?typical Chinese storage unit.
See photos, sorry not in any order.
Just had the worst "gotta fria" summer storm on record in Spain, horrendous.Scary.
We live on a mountain so yes all excess water and s..t flows downhill.
The new dry box in my workshop stayed a constant 43%, the rest of the house got away with a few leaks in the upstairs.Phew.
attached a link of "what global warming" ? no such thing.?

John,

Just to clarify, this dry box acts to keep the filament dry WHILE printing, right?? I.E., the filament being printed sits in the box while printing?? I know some of your prints are 8+ hours, so that sounds like an excellent idea when you're in such a humid environment.

Charlie

Yes correct in your assumptions.
Worth doing and a fun job to design and print.
The reptile heater works well, currently the filament
in the box is 27 C and humidity at 38%.
At least my control of humidity ??? is off the list of variables.?
Forward and onward.

Hi Charlie, John!

Here's a link to the youtuber's blog...



Being in the US, I used the?clear Cambro food storage container () and the sealing lid (). The container is so nice I couldn't bring myself to put holes in it so I put the holes in the top. I used the tuber's stl files with some translucent PETG I bought on a lightning deal from Amazon, nothing as colorful and delightful as John's!
