Description
A box for spools, I know there are many out there, but for those who already know me, they know that I like to do things my own way. So, I decided to make a box for the filament spools.
What is particular about it, you may ask:
This version cannot be used to feed the printer with filament (see image bellow, serving instead as a temporary storage container and always with the accessory mentioned in the previous point to keep humidity levels low. It should last for a few weeks... The time it takes for the desiccant to become saturated depends on the humidity in your area. I recommend silica desiccant, which can be reused by heating it in an oven or microwave.
For more permanent storage, you can use vacuum bags.
So, here it is saying hi and taking off his hat ;)
The Closing clips can represent the color and material that inside the box, the text on the clip can be edited on Bambu Studio.
You can choose between the version with or without the logo, chose the 3mf file that suits you best.
For some reason, there has been a movement within the community against displaying the Bambu Lab logo on my work. In my opinion, the logo is an interesting graphic element and much like in some sports, people enjoy showcasing the brand, creating a sense of belonging to a group. While there could be many reasons for opposition, tastes are subjective, making this a trivial matter that I will not discuss more.
Another point to note is that neither Bambu Lab, Prusa, nor any other company pays me to include their logo on these models. This process is an inherent artistic feature. To end this, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
As an update, I’d like to share that this is now stackable with the Racks4All modular system. You can find more information in the 4All Collection.
And an example of a printed part with Translucent PETG from bambu lab
There is a other version, prime, that was designed with the filament feed in mind, more advanced, with rollers, pneumatic adapter and other features, you can get it here: SpoolBox 4 all Brands with Filament
I’ve written an article on my blog titled ‘To What Extent and How Can Transparent PETG Parts Be Achieved?’ It would be great if you could follow me there—I use it to share projects like this and occasionally present some of my preliminary work.
Special care has been taken to provide the models with the printing parameters already defined; however, you are free to change whatever you them if necessary. The use of multiple colors should not hinder those who do not have a multi-material printing unit, as there are only 4 color changes throughout the process. That being said, the provided 3mf files are configured for use with the AMS and changing them for printing without the AMS is up to you.
I would like to emphasize that these models cannot be distributed in any way or form; therefore, any alterations are solely for your own use.
This decision stems from issues I had previously, where my work was copied extensively, leading to accusations that I had copied the models myself (my own models…)
Some may have some special feature that you can configure to your linking's. An examples is the closing clip that you can change the text label and material color to match the spool material.
See image on how to assemble (The exploded view may help one this, so check it)
The feet's on the base must be glued if you what to use them (recommended).
If you want to add a humidity sensor, there is a configuration for that on the 3mf file included. I've use this temperature and humidity sensor.
