My First Thingie!

I published my first Thingie on Thingiverse today!

I am working on upgrading all our digital signage installations from a Google Chromebit to an Asus Chromebox. We use Chrome Sign Builder to display a Google Slides presentation to the TVs.

I will be wall mounting the Chromeboxes and the rest of the equipment in the nearest tech closet but I needed a way to wall mount the HDMI Splitters I ordered from StarTech, so I made these brackets.

Filament Drybox: Part 1

I recently purchased a Creality Ender 3 Pro and had been looking for a drybox for filament I wasn’t going to use all the time, could store multiple rolls and could be scaled up or down to different size totes. I was never able to find anything I really loved so I started working on my own.

This is basically a rough draft dump of the parts needed. Eventually, I will make a full post with measurements and such. It will also be uploaded to Thingiverse, but for those who want a sneak peak, here you go.

Parts for the Tote Shown:

  1. Drybox Parts
    • 3 x Roller
    • 2 x Pedestal
    • 2 x Wall Mount
    • 6 x Cap
    • 3 x Interior Passthrough
    • 3 x Exterior Passthrough
  2. 6 x 608 Bearings
  3. 12 x M4 .70x 35mm Bolts
  4. 12 x M4 x 8mm x 6mm Embedment Nuts
  5. 18 x M4 .70x 10mm Bolts
  6. 18 x M4 .70x Nut
  7. IKEA Samla 6gal Tote
  8. IKEA Samla Lid
  9. 3 x PC4-M6 Pneumatic Fittings

I have linked some parts. These aren’t necessarily the exact parts but they are close. I got all the M4 bolts and nuts at my local hardware store. The embedment nuts I got from a kit.

I will have better instructions as I finish documenting everything. I mocked everything before marking my holes with double sided tape or hot glue. If you have to make longer rollers, it just needs to be a bar that’s 8mm in diameter. You can also cheat and just use pieces of dowel rod. The embedment nuts push into the bottom of the pedestal and wall mounts.
