Another Filament Tub
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2014 1:49 am
THIS POST by Chein and decided this was a great idea. I made it more for the dust problem in my shop rather than humidity but it should solve both problems equally.
I trimmed a big slot in the tub to allow the filament to unwind without any problems. This piece was a little tricky to design because the tub is rounded. It took me about 4 trial and error prints before I got it close enough.
I then made a little funnel stack to feed it up into a filament cleaner and glued it to the base with CA Glue.
I found the filament cleaner on thingiverse I just had to make a adapter plug to fit the Makergear hose as I can't edit STL files in my software.
It looks a little funny but should get the job done well enough.
