KICHLY Filament Storage with Upgrades

The 3MF File was made in Orca Slicer.

Make sure to Calibrate print profiles before printing the larger parts.

The Assembly Process is practically the same as the Original Filament Storage

Printing Costs are roughly:

• 200g PETG - Main Body* and Arms 

• 80g ASA/ABS - Rewinder, Desiccant Storage and Adaptor Ring (Overture)

• 10g TPU - Plugs and Optional Gasket

I printed one Storage Container out of PLA, I haven't found any issues yet but I will update the post if anything starts to weaken.

Printing Settings

• 3 Wall Loops except for the TPU Gasket which is 1 Wall Loop

• 10% Gyroid Infill on All Parts except for the TPU Gasket which is 7% 

• Ensure Vertical Shell Thickness on All except for the TPU Gasket which is off

• 5 Top Shell Layers except for the TPU Gasket which is 3 Layers

• 3 Bottom Shell Layers except for the TPU Gasket which is 2 Layers

• Top and Bottom patterns are a preference but the TPU Gasket should ideally have a Concentric on the top and bottom.

General Info

The top Hex Clip is hard to Install but does fit, I made it a tight snap so that the part wouldn't slide overtime

Useage

I'd highly reccomend using a heat gun to remove the divot as much around the spot where the spool makes contact as the springs in the badges are not strong enough to overcome the friction on the container walls

Everything works well reaching 10% RH in about 24-32 Hours.

Drying

You can stick the entire spool with the rewinder in whatever filament dryer, (I use the EIBOS 3D Filament Dryer CYCLOPES) but make sure the entire rewinder is printed from at least ASA or ABS to prevent heat distortions over time.

I tested by drying the Overture 95A TPU for 7 Hours set to 70C but the Hygrometer read ~46C. The Rewinder didn't show signs of softening or deformation.

Parts to Buy

KICHLY Container

Overture Improved Speed PETG

Overtrure TPU

3mm Silicone Foam Seal

Rechargeable Silica Gel Desiccant

608zz Bearings

Badge Springs - No link yet, I had some no-name ones laying around.

Disclaimer

The 608zz Bearings are not that good quality and are pretty coarse when spinning but work perfectly fine for the rewinder, I wouldn't use them for high stress/important applications.
