DIY Filament Box | Drybox 4L | 65mm filament spool
Compact 4-liter filament box for safe storage of 65mm 1-kg filament spools.
The box is airtight and has space for silica gel to reliably keep moisture out. Ideal for PLA, PETG, and other common filaments.
Easy to print, space-saving, and perfect for clean, dry storage.

(could work better) Without grip dent:
You will also need 6x M4 hex nuts, 6x M4 screws (10 mm) and a 20mm rod (cardboard, PVC, …).
*per Box
For the 3D printed parts:
- my printer: Creality K1 SE
- 15% infill, Grid
- No supports
Assembling:
- Print the parts
- Press the M4 hex nuts into the hexagonal holes.
- Drill three 5mm holes on each side of the box (see picture).
- Now screw the parts onto the box.
-
Now drill a 5 mm hole for the plug-in screw connection as the filament outlet. The position depends on the printer;
I made it in the cover. I recommend drilling out the screw connection slightly with a 3 mm drill bit so that the filament can pass through more easily.
- Fill the box with 100g of silica gel.
- If your filament roll is difficult to turn, you can bend the grip dents outward using heat.
