Dry Box Cereal Box Silica hygrometer

✨ News :

- A new removable silica beads container is now available, compatible with all Manu Ziloop rolling dry box models. It lets you refill or replace the desiccant by simply lifting the container out—no need to remove the entire base. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2333245-removable-desiccant-container-rolling-dry-boxes#profileId-2549417 - For users with SKROAM-style boxes (WILDONE, PRAKI), a separate  “perfect fit”  model is now available:   https://makerworld.com/en/models/2217613-skroam-wildone-praki-cereal-dry-box-hygrometer#profileId-2411343

This universal model works with most cereal box containers sold on Amazon. It has been thoroughly tested and performs reliably across a wide range of boxes, though some minor variations in fit may occur depending on the brand.

Using this model alongside “cereal boxes” allows you to keep filament spools in a sealed environment, protecting them from moisture.

In case you need a model for narrow spools (for example, 500 g spools), take a look at the following link: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2203421-cereal-box-dry-box-desiccants-for-narrow-spools#profileId-2394245

The rollers are especially helpful if you plan on printing directly from the spool while it remains inside the airtight container.

- It accommodates silica gel beads to keep the filament dry. - It includes a mount for a hygrometer, so you can track humidity and know when it’s time to replace the silica gel. - It also allows for adding labels to identify different filament types, which is particularly handy if you have multiple spools. - This design works with the majority of spools, from 50 mm (inner width) up to 69.9 mm (outer width). - As for the amount of silica gel, you can fill around 170 cm³. Personally, I use less than that, and it generally lasts about a month before I need to swap it out (I regenerate it by heating it in the oven). Use a 4mm hexagonal , allen wrench to screw the rollers. Tip:  To allow the rollers to spin freely, tighten the screw all the way in (but not too tight, as it’s plastic, not metal), then slightly loosen it (about a quarter turn) until the roller turns smoothly without resistance.

Print directly with the spool inside the 'dry box': in this case, you will need to use a suitable lid with a hole for the passage of the PTFE tube, you can use this one, it's what I use:

If you need the labels : Labels Here !

Printing Recommendations: There aren’t any special requirements aside from the screws, where I opted for 3 walls. I printed everything in PLA, and the screws fit snugly into their threads with no need for additional cleanup. I hope your print job goes just as smoothly.

If you want to use the screw-on lid: I use countersunk wood screws, 3mm in diameter and 12mm long (slight variations in length are fine).

If your print doesn't turn out well, check your filament (old? wet?) and printer calibration first. Most issues come from these, not the model.
