Long term storage though I have left things (other plastic rolls) in our furnace room.
Nylon I have a relatively tight acrylic case, with a ton of silica dessicant (0.3kg, not really a ton) that I will recharge soon.

Some rice in a perforated container with the spools, suck the air out and that should keep the filament nice and dry. Any thoughts?]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/4668/2014-01-27T03:01:05Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/47834/#p47834<![CDATA[Re: air tight filament storage containers?]]>I'm using a Rubbermaid type container with a 1 pound canister of silica gel sitting in the corner. So far, so good.

The GAMMA lid has one part that snaps onto the bucket and a lid part that screws on and off, and it has an o-ring seal. Get it at Home Depot or google it for your nearest dealer. Works for me.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/1282/2014-01-03T23:47:46Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/45712/#p45712<![CDATA[Re: air tight filament storage containers?]]>I keep mine in the gun safe with a golden rod in it.

I've got some small containers filled with the crystal kitty litter, a piece of perfboard on top of them, then the filament on top of that.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/270/2014-01-03T01:06:46Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/45609/#p45609<![CDATA[air tight filament storage containers?]]>what containers do you use for the various rolls of filament to keep dry when not in use? and where/how much did you find them?]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/795/2014-01-03T01:02:23Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/45608/#p45608
