For this #FreeCADFriday I have improved my filament dry box. The box was already a trusty companion for 3D-printing needs, keeping filament in an air-tight environment even during printing. Why did I need to change a perfect model you ask? Two reasons: 1. I added a flexible anti-slip TPU foot to decouple it from the surface it stands on. 2. I made it stackable by adding indentations that match the profile of the container. @freecad #FreeCAD #CAD #3DPrint #3DPrinting https://www.printables.com/model/1587660

Oh, and there is one more thing for this #FreeCADFriday: If you use my (or any other) filament dry box, you might want a plug for the pneumatic coupler while the box is connected to the printer. https://www.printables.com/model/1722106 @freecad@social.freecad.org #FreeCAD #CAD #3DPrint #3DPrinting

@freecad@social.freecad.org yet another improvement of the dry box project: One axle per wheel is now detachable, making it easier to install the wheels. The axles are pulled into the sides by screws, locking them into place. I encountered bad filament that was a lot more brittle than before. It was impossible to install the wheels without breaking the sides. With the detachable axles, it is still necessary to bend the sides a little, but to a much smaller extend. #FreeCADFriday #FreeCAD #3DPrinting #3DPrint
