KID'nR XL - Keep It Dry ... and Rolling for the Larger Diameter Spools! (Silica Gel Box)

You like 🥰 the KID'nR filament spool silica gel boxes, but your spools don't fit as they have a larger inner core diameter? Here it is the KID'nR XL : All the features as the standard model but now for spools from 56mm - 90mm inner core diameter. Leave a ❤ Like if you actually like and use this model. It helps to get some Prusameters for the filament that is needed for all the test prints while creating models to share with you!

And here it is: PolyRoller 🥳 The Features This time I will keep it really short (👉 please check the description of the KID'nR which cover all the features in every detail also for this XL variant): 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Three canister types: Standard , Core and Roller Three cap and lock types: Standard , Slim and Grippy Of course: The Hygrometer Caps ! … and all the nice little details like accent color spacers and labeling Parts and Compatibility The KID'nR XL is basically the standard KID'nR canister (in 51.4mm diameter variant) with a new Cap and Lock-Ring that work with larger spool core diameters. And as the canister is the same, the additional parts are still compatible so you can easily convert it to a standalone silica gel box ( Grippy or Slim style ) . All the canisters, caps, lock rings are labeled, with diameter, height and filament name. For the XL the relevant diameter is now printed on the Cap and Lock-Ring (the canister as said will always have 51.4mm). And because the canister always has the same diameter, also the Slim and Grippy add-ons parts are generic and not spool specific. So check the Generic Parts in the files section for these. Files, Parts, Printing and Assembly 1. File Structure For a precise fit there is a specific version for each spool organized in folders. Go to this folder in the files section and you will find all the files you need (and check here what canister type, cap, lock ring, bottom and spacers you want). As said above the Slim and Grippy parts are in the Generic Parts folder and fit all canisters. 2. Parts Hygrometer: The “standard” 45mm one ( Amazon ) Bearings: MR148ZZ bearings (shipped with PolyDryer) ( Amazon ) 3. Print Settings Material: PLA does work, PETG is preferable, but if you put it inside a heated dry box go with ABS, ASA or similar Perimeters: 5 Infill: 40% Support: in general No Only for the roller version: You maybe want to support just the area where the MR1482Z bearing sits. In all my prints it worked perfectly without, but it depends on your printer and settings if it might be preferable to put a tiny bit of support to this area. Make sure to print some parts in accent color as you like, i.e. the spacers and the grippy parts. 4. Assembly For the roller version, carefully press in the MR1482Z bearings in the Canister and the cap Clip in the Spacers Fill it with Silica Gel Close the Canister with a Cap, … put the Canister into the filament spool … and attach the Lock Ring to keep things in place Supported Spools Here is the list of spools currently supported / tested, with some comments if required: ANYCUBIC ID 73.0L 58.0Black Spool ALFAWISE ID 57.2L 63.0Black Spool SUNLU ID 75.0L 60.0Black Spool [e.g. PLA] SUNLU ID 58.0L 50.0Refillabe [e.g PLA+] SUNLU ID 62.8L 60.0Reusable Spool Your spool is not listed / does not fit? Just drop me a message with the inner core diameter (measure both sides, they might vary), the spool height at the center and the name of the spool for the label. I will create the STLs and add them to this model. All I ask you for is to provide some feedback after you printed it to be sure that it all fits nicely. Please also note, that your spool might be the same as used by some other brand. So check the parameters in the list of supported spools, and also check the OnlySpoolz database. CAD Files and Customization The model is made with Fusion 360 and it's a parametric design. So you can easily create all the files for your specific spool by just entering the respective values to the parameters in the “Favorites” section: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media spoolHeigh t: The height of the spool at the center core. spacerHeight : The thickness added by the spacer; do not go below 1mm cannisterLabel : (Yes, I am aware of the spelling error, and maybe I will fix it in the next iteration) The text label on the canister; the value is taken from the “Comments” field! XLSpoolCoreDiameter: The inner core diameter of your spool For Fusion 360 to be able to modify the model, you will need to install the following: Google Font: Play Thread Definitions: Fusion-360-FDM-threads Fusion 360 Plugin to manage the FDM treads: ThreadKeeper Fusion 360 Plugin to allow for parametric text values: ParametricText Before you start: The ParametricText plugin in such quite complex models has a big downside: It will take forever for Fusion 360 to update all the bodies after you changed any of the parameters. If you change them, grab a coffee and let Fusion do its job, it will be unresponsive, eventually show a black window, but it will do everything just fine. When you work on the model itself the plugin should not get into your way (as long as you do not change the parameters). If it does, you can disable the plugin and enable it again when you are done with your changes. Some hints: If you open the Fusion 360 file, all bodies are oriented for 3D printing. Check the timeline and you will find the elements to activate / deactivate to have everything arranged correctly. You can export all bodies at once by selecting the root component for export; select one body per file. … and don't forget: Have fun 😎
