Basic Design

Box

  • Airtight Box, either ots, or something 3d printed, then finished, and perhaps resin sealed?
  • O ring and top lid
  • Optional mounting system (especially for the rack/mount version for HMCUs and Print Farms where organization is key

Dehumidifier

Spool Holder System

  • Individual Roller modules, common axle?

Filament Ports

  • See the "Anybox" Device

Backup Dessicant

  • Would this be of use?

Heater

  • Would this be needed, or would the VERY low humidity increase evaporation enough to make this not needed?
  • May also be a time factor
