Are you still not satisfied the quality of your 3D printed object?

0:00:16.380,0:00:19.380
One possible reason for the quality of the 3D printed object decreased is that the filament is not dry.

0:00:19.400,0:00:21.880
You should keep your filament dry to prevent bubbles, popping and cracking.

0:00:21.900,0:00:24.060
You can hear a hissing sound if your filament isn't dry.

0:00:24.120,0:00:26.300
All filament, including ABS, HIPS, PLA, PET/T/G/+, Nylon, and PE should be dried before printing

This is a picture by MatterHackers showing the difference between print with the dry and wet filament.

In this video, I will show you how to make a 3D filament dry storage box to keep your filament dry

0:01:24.340,0:01:26.160
Stick the weather stripping seal to the cover

0:01:26.280,0:01:29.540
And also the box

0:01:33.380,0:01:41.500
Mark the position of spool holder on both side of the box

0:01:41.880,0:01:52.600
Stick tape to the mark preventing cracking of the box when drilling

0:01:53.220,0:02:08.600
Measure the position of holes to mount the feeder

0:02:09.240,0:02:39.220
Mark the position for drilling holes

0:02:39.340,0:02:53.820
Stick tape to the mark preventing cracking of the box when drilling

0:02:54.080,0:03:06.560
Drill all the holes

0:03:06.600,0:03:08.220
Remove the tape

0:03:08.440,0:03:26.780
Mount both spool holders with screws

0:03:27.340,0:04:06.220
Drill all the holes

0:04:06.340,0:04:11.800
Remove all tape

0:04:12.240,0:04:27.000
Mixing epoxy resin adhesive

0:04:27.000,0:04:39.700
Stick the quick connectors to the box with epoxy resin adhesive

0:04:39.920,0:05:15.900
Mount the filament feeder with screws

0:05:20.680,0:05:25.960
Mark the length of PVC pipe

0:05:26.140,0:05:35.300
Cut the PVC pipe with hacksaw

0:05:35.580,0:05:39.640
The indicator of dehumidifier is pink when it is wet

0:05:39.860,0:05:44.380
Dry the dehumidifier

0:05:57.540,0:05:59.800
The indicator turns into blue after dry

0:06:17.700,0:06:45.960
Insert the Teflon tube into the quick connectors then cut it in proper length

0:06:58.680,0:07:02.120
Finish
