This design is a 3D model of a filament drying box, created by Bilibili content creator Ah Wen Jun. It has been updated to version 5.0, which features a 5.8L rice bucket, offering more space and requiring two pots for operation. You can find the model at the following link:
5.8L Rice Bucket 3D Printed Filament Drying Box Stand - Ah Wen Jun's Drying Box - v5.0
Current Version: 4.0 (4L Rice Bucket)
This is the 4.0 version, which features a 4L rice bucket and can operate with a single pot.
Additional Parts Needed:
- Teflon tube and pneumatic fitting. The rice bucket lid does not need to be punched; you can drill M6 holes on the top or side and attach the pneumatic fitting.
- Two 608zz bearings and related hardware. Alternatively, you can print your own bearings, though printed bearings may be affected by material quality. If they don’t work, you can purchase two 608zz bearings.
I bought my 4L rice bucket from this store.
If this model has helped you, I would greatly appreciate your ! Your will be a great honor and my motivation to keep going!
Notes from the Original Author:
v4.0 Update:
Thanks to community member @新时代蛋-AnyCubic_Chiron (54706407) for this clever design! Please watch the video here:

This version is completely different from the previous one. The designs are no longer of the same species.
Print Settings:
1. Stand and Lid:
- Layer height: 0.2mm
- Speed: 50mm/s
- Temperature: 200°C
- Heated bed temperature: 60°C
- Fill density: 40%
- Flexible Mid Shaft:
- Layer height: 0.2mm
- Speed: 50mm/s
- Temperature: 200°C
- Heated bed temperature: 60°C
- Fill density: 100%
This version uses less material, is very sturdy, and the mid shaft is compatible with previous versions. The drying beads are easy to observe, which is very convenient. Additionally, the lid has models for threaded, round, and square humidity gauges.
v3.0 Update:
The previous mid shaft component, although cleverly designed, could break or jam if the material tray was too heavy. Some community suggested printing with PETG to avoid jams, but the talented member "小刀刻硬盘" (Xiao Dao Ke Hard Disk) developed a new version of the mid shaft.
This new version is extremely strong and durable, making the drying box much more robust. For those with faults in the 3.0 version, replacing the mid shaft will solve the problem.
Additionally, the fixing rods and lid have been updated with M6 thread designs.

v2.0 Update:

Hey! This is the design for Ah Wen Jun's Filament Drying Box. Using a drying box effectively reduces the risk of materials absorbing moisture and prevents stringing during printing. It is strongly recommended for s in areas with high humidity.

The design is excellent and different from traditional drying boxes that use two rows of rollers, which often cause jams. This design has been carefully perfected.
However, the 4L rice buckets commonly available in China do not fit these parts, so modifications to the design are necessary.
I am not a modeler, but I spent a lot of time modifying this design, which was not easy. I printed many failed parts and wasted material in the process. Additionally, I found a lid design and published it, so now we can make modifications without any damage.
