Bearing Dry Filament Holder

thingiverse

This is a remix to allow the (semi) permanent storage of the filament in a container to keep it dry, but still connected to the printer. I keep my filament in a plastic container like this https://sistemaplastics.com/products/klip-it-rectangular/5l-rectangle , a drill a small hole and use a Bowden style tube to minimize the air that can get in (I used this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-Printers-Parts-1M-PTFE-Tube-Teflon-PiPe-Connectors-J-head-Hotend-for-V5-V6-1/32837402053.html ) The parts include a change to the original design to keep the holder in the middle of the container, the source is here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/h5vRmStXGgS The other parts are: *Screw Joiner*: This is to join 2 M4 screws together as I could not easily get a long M4 screw. It takes 2 nuts, and the screws can then come in from either side. *Container feet*: As you can see in the photo, there are a couple of plastic feet to keep the container level, this just lifts it so the lid of the container does not touch the ground. *Bearing push-inner*: This was so I could get the bearings into the final print, as I found the fit to be very tight, I wanted to apply an even force. Using this part, with will align in the center on the bearing, allowed me to use a vice to get the bearing in. Print this as a solid part as you'll likely need to apply a lot of force!
