Making a DRY BOX for 3D Filament to Protect it from Humidity
Video Overview & Insights
In this video, I show you how to make a dry box for 3D filament, to keep the filament dry and in good condition.
Heyi thank you for the guide!
Could you specify what kind of bowden connector I should buy for this design? Maybe supply a link to the one you used?
*Components needed for this project:*
An airtight container (mine is an IKEA SAMLA 22 l box)
Are the tube attachments at the bottom open into the box, or just there as holders so there isn't an open end of the bowden tubes when not in use?

Nice video Handy Bear! Could you tell me what your humidity level in % is with this solution? Do you use a sealing between the lid and the box?
The humidity sensor I used isn't available anymore, but here's a different model: https://amzn.to/3u0NyYP
*Parts to 3D print:*
Hi Great video,Are you printing the parts in Pla or Petg?🏆

Great remake of a good idea. Kudos!

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing the video and the 3D printed models. :-)
Did you have the link to the pipe holder fittings for mounting the 32mm PVC pipe into the Samla box?
To dry filament that has already been in a humid environment, place it in the oven for a few hours. 40°C for PLA and 80°C for ABS.

Why are the bowden tubes's looped round back into the box?

No need for the bag just pour them in the bottom
