Hey @FreeCAD community!

I made a filament storage container with a PC4-M6 pneumatic connector from a food storage box!

It can be connected to the printer via a PTFE tube and equipped with silica gel to keep the filament dry.

A transparent filament container with a spool of orange filament.
It is made from a 4l food storage container. The lid has been replaced with a black 3D-printed part that snaps to the container with 6 orange latches. The filament exits at the top left through a pneumatic connector. — A transparent filament container with a spool of orange filament. It is made from a 4l food storage container.

FreeCAD screenshot that displays the same assembly (minus the pneumatic connector). Additionally, the silica gel containers left and right of the green spool are visible in purple.

The orange side handle has been modified and now sports another pneumatic connector. This allows the filament container and the printer to be connected via a PTFE tube. — A photo of the side of a Prusa CORE One 3D printer.
