New 3D Printer and Drybox

I suddenly felt the urge to buy a new 3D printer when I saw the Prusa Mini in action. I’ve been using my old Alfawise U30 for a few years now and it’s time to upgrade. So on Christmas Eve I opened the box containing a new Prusa Mini+. It took me about 7 hours to put it together.

I am really impressed with the quality (and speed!) of the prints, especially with newly purchased filaments (that have not been exposed to moisture).

So I thought, what about building a drybox? You can buy one for a few thousand crowns, but I decided to build one myself (of course). I downloaded some models from Printables - My Drybox collection, bought a Samla box from IKEA and printed the parts. I also bought a bag of silica gel to keep the humidity down.

The result

Take a look at some of my prints on Printables.
