This is basically a complete re-do based on several other designs here on Thingiverse.
Main parts:
Screw port - improved design that is a bit more stable printed in PLA (had some issues where the original referenced ports would shear on a print layer), and changes the angle of the filament feed to more closely match how the filament is wound on the spool and provide a smoother path to the printer.
Spool holder - took the TUSH concept and adapted it for use in the dry box. Design mounts modified TUSH adapters on a rail inside the dry box for stability and adjustment.
I currently use SainSmart pro filament - this box is perfect to hold 4 spools - you may not be able to fit 4 spools if your filament spools are wider.
Parts you'll need:
1-Sterilite® Gasket 20 Quart Clear Storage Bin - Model Number: 19324306

2-5/16" (about 8mm) steel rods about a foot long (4 foot rod will build 2 boxes) - you'll need to measure and cut prior to assembl
