This model was inspired by one of the features of this drying box system, but is my original design specifically for the Polymaker PolyDryer.
I like to print directly from the PolyDryer boxes, and it's kind of a bummer to have to open them to feed the filament out before I can start printing. I tried poking the tip of the filament into the little hole in the built-in rubber port cover, but it's hard to do because the tether on the plug is so short and the hole is shallow. So I made this new plug to make it easier.
My plug has a hole in the tip and a tapered channel inside. You can slide the end of the filament into it and the internal taper will catch the filament, allowing you to easily pull it out without opening the box when it's time to print again. It holds snugly enough to pull the filament up through the vertical port as well.
The plug itself is also slightly tapered externally and is sized to seal against the soft PolyDryer port without stretching it out.
I've supplied an STL and also a parametric Fusion 360 model to make it easy to customize. Tolerances here are pretty small and I had to tweak the dimensions of the internal taper a bit to compensate for the width of the filament extrusion during printing. You might need to similarly adjust a bit for your printer, nozzle, and filament. In particular, if the plug doesn't grip the filament, make the “Internal_taper_minimum_diameter” parameter smaller.
I printed this on the XL with the 0.4mm nozzle in Prusament PLA with 60% infill on the 0.2mm “Quality” preset.
@MartinSturm published a Make of this model, and made a valuable point in his feedback – these are very small objects. It's best to print multiples so that there's adequate time for each layer to cool.
