I wanted to create a drybox and came across the Wildone 4L storage containers but I did not want to drill through them.

My first creation and upload, hopefully someone finds it useful. I found these Wildone cereal storage containers sets (4L version) on Amazon and I wanted to see if they would work as dry boxes. I did not want to drill through them so I designed a cap to replace the stock hinged lid. After a few attempts this version works good for me so thought I would share it. It should fit in a 60mm hole in other containers as well.

 

parts needed:

  • Wildone cereal storage containers (4L version) found them on Amazon
  • 10mm fitting(s) - I got some off Amazon called “PTFE Bowden Tube (1M) 1PCS+ 6pcs KJH04-M6 Fittings + 6pcs JP4-01” and used the JP4-01 fittings and tube in it.
  • Round mini hygrometer(s). Also from Amazon, I think they are all the same size but the brand was Veanic and they are 40mm.
  • Silica Gel Desiccant - I am using a 50 gram pack and it is keeping the humidity in the low to mid 20% range. 

I added a second model with a second fitting as I found with I unloaded the filament to use something else I didn't want to shove it back through the Bowden tube. I have the spool just free standing and it has a fair bit of tension.  user rf1989 does have a a stand I might print but thinking I might try to design my own. If I do and it works I will add it as well.

 

Printed with Overture PLA and the holes for fittings are threaded 10mm x 0.75 and 6mm x .8
