Drybox (Low Vitamin)
Description
I wanted to see if I could create a drybox that used as few vitamins (purchased parts) as possible. Along the way, I realized that my current drybox, which used 608zz bearings, spun WAY too freely, resulting in filament binding on the spool. This drybox is based around a file box from Office Depot (Item #840427): https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/840427/Super-Stacker-Storage-Box-19-Liters/ Additionally, I used foam backer rod (SKU #803064): https://www.homedepot.com/p/M-D-Building-Products-5-8-in-x-20-ft-Gray-Caulk-Backer-Rod-for-Gaps-and-Joints-71506/100165680 And finally, some run-of-the-mill 4mm PTFE tubing like you see in bowdens everywhere. Oh, and a bit of hot glue to put it all together. You'll have to drill a few 9-10mm holes in the side of the box for the filament ports, but otherwise there are no cuts or holes, and no bolts. The spindles are intended to be easy to replace without reprinting the arms that suspend them, and designed to be self-centering (there's a small taper toward the center)...though I'm not sure yet if that part works as planned. If you modify the OpenSCAD model, you'll need the threads.scad library from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27183
