Keeping your 3D printing filament in tip-top condition can sometimes be a little tricky if you are continually using and storing a variety of different filaments. One 3D printing filament storage solution worth more investigation has been created by Storme Technologies and is aptly named the SpoolBoss.
The open source 3D printing filament storage and management system as this week launched via Kickstarter to raise the required funds needed to take the design into production. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the SpoolBoss which is now available to back with early bird pledges available from $369 or roughly £283. If all goes well worldwide shipping is expected to take place before the end of the year. “With SpoolBoss 6.0 you can store, protect, and dry your 3D printing materials to ensure high quality prints, better resolution, less clogs, less jams and less 3D printer problems.”
“With the SpoolBoss 6.0 there will be no more messy desks or bench-tops. No more need to run filament on a wire rack or open-air system that can get tangled or stuck over time. No more absorbing moisture into your filament because you print in a humid or damp garage, basement “Man Cave” or outdoor shop. No more getting your filaments in the hands of those who shouldn’t touch it. No more need for multiple spools or racks to house and organise your filaments!”
