Shortly after creating my first filament dehydrator http://ift.tt/2zYzOgb, I found CreativeTools’ Filament Spool Holder. My first version worked fine, but I found some shavings on the spool holder when changing filaments, caused by the friction between the holder and the spool. Also, my original holder was only sized for certain spools, not as universal as I had expected. Not a big deal, but I’m a big fan of maximum efficiency…so here you go, a slightly better version than the first.
Here are the links I had in my first version: Dehydrator: http://ift.tt/2zWtrKc?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1499306986&sr=1-23&keywords=dehydrator+machine
and Wilton’s cake caddy, which I got from Joann http://ift.tt/2nDqAnx, for about $10 (don’t forget to use your coupons!)The only other thing you need is 2 #4 x 5/8″ pan head screws. You could use another dehydrator and top, there are suggestions on Tinkerman’s original dehydrator page: http://ift.tt/2zYzTjZ
I didn’t mess with CreativeTools’ duster, the filament is in an enclosed space, not likely to gather dust. My snoot is intended for a PC4-M6 Male Straight Pneumatic Connector. The PTFE tube keeps the air from reaching the filament before it reaches the printer and keeps the filament from crimping.
Special thanks goes to CreativeTools and Tinkerman for sharing their original ideas!

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
