From video: I Was SICK of Drying Filament, so I Built THIS Instead.
Published: March 7, 2026

Video Description

In this video, I attempt to 3D print a filament storage dry cabinet to keep my 3D printing filament dry and ready to print. Brought to you by Elegoo. Check out the Centauri Carbon 2 here: https://jle.vi/cc2 Wet filament is the silent killer of good 3D prints. We all know that 3D printer filament absorbs moisture over time. And when that happens, you start seeing the usual problems: stringing, bubbling, weak layer adhesion, and rough surfaces. Sure, you can dry filamentโ€”but drying is only a temporary fix. What many makers donโ€™t realize is that moisture can permanently degrade certain filaments. It can damage plasticizers, leaving you with brittle, stale filament, and repeated high-temperature drying cycles (even in the best filament dryer) can even degrade the polymers themselves. Not to mentionโ€ฆ who actually plans ahead enough to dry filament for 8 hours before printing? So the real question isn't "how to dry filament" or "what's the best filament dryer." It's "how to store filament" in a way that KEEPS it dry. Unfortunately, most existing filament storage solutions are bulky, expensive, or just plain ugly - no offense. I've seen plenty of 3d printed filament dry box setups that... quite frankly... I wouldn't want on my shelves. And while filament storage bags work quite well in my experience, they're just not that convenient - or durable. So in this video, I attempt something a little ambitious: building a fully functional filament dry cabinet designed to keep 3d printer filament dry and ready to print whenever itโ€™s needed. But will it actually work? Will the humidity stay stable? Will the design hold up? And most importantlyโ€ฆ will I finish the project before I burn through 12+ kilos of filament and two weeks of my life? Letโ€™s find out. ๐Ÿคซ Get my custom filament and printer profiles, buyers guides, and much, much more on Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer ๐Ÿ’ฌ JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord ๐ŸŽฅ IN THIS VIDEO: ๐ŸŽฅ 00:00 Introduction 01:17 The Design 01:54 But Why 3D Print It? 04:47 The Filament 05:45 The Printers 07:47 Printing Montage 11:53 Assembly 19:23 Big Reveal 21:14 Conclusion ๐Ÿ”— LINKS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: ๐Ÿ”— ๐Ÿ‘‰The HDRY System by CC3D Projects: https://www.cc3dprojects.com/cc3d-hdry-system - use code AXXEPANR to get 40% discount ๐Ÿ‘‰ Subscribe to CC3D Projects: https://www.youtube.com/@CC3DProjects ๐Ÿ‘‰ Support Enrico: https://buymeacoffee.com/cc3dprojects ๐Ÿ‘‰ PolyMaker Filament (my favorite!): https://jle.vi/polymaker ๐Ÿ‘‰ Prusament: https://jle.vi/prusa ๐Ÿ‘‰ Fillamentum: https://jle.vi/fillamentum ๐Ÿ‘‰ Phaetus Filament: https://jle.vi/west3d ๐Ÿ‘‰ SirayaTech Filament: https://jle.vi/siraya ๐Ÿ‘‰ Noctou Filament: https://www.noctuo.pl/en/index.htm ๐Ÿ‘‰ Spectrum Filament: https://us.spectrumfilaments.com/ ๐Ÿ‘‰ eSun Filament: https://geni.us/esunfilament (AMZ) ๐Ÿ‘‰ yXPolyer Filament: https://geni.us/yxpolyer (AMZ) ๐Ÿ‘‰ HOTO PixelDrive: https://jle.vi/pixeldrive ๐Ÿ‘‰ My previous video where I shared the 12 Designers who pushed the limits of functional 3D prints: https://youtu.be/iL8p5Fhoa1k ๐Ÿ‘‰ Subscribe to our second channel - The NEXT Next Layer: https://www.youtube.com/@thenextnextlayer ๐Ÿ›’ RECOMMENDED GEAR: ๐Ÿ›’ ๐Ÿ“Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing ๐Ÿ“Complete list of my videography gear: https://kit.co/jlevi/content-creation ๐Ÿ“My favorite thing to 3D Print: https://jle.vi/multiboard ๐Ÿ“My recommended electronics & control boards: https://jle.vi/bigtreetech ๐Ÿ“My favorite 3D printing "accessory": https://jle.vi/magigoo | https://jle.vi/whambam ๐Ÿ“My favorite 3D printing filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker ๐Ÿ“Check out the official TNL merch: https://shop.thenextlayer.com/ ๐Ÿ“PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING USING MY LINKS!
