The file 'Desiccant Box For Filaments In IKEA RYKTA Box 3D Printer Model' is (plasticity,stl,stp) file type, size is 1.1MB.
Finally I found suitable Box to store my Filaments.
From IKEA I bought an RYKTA Box (24x36x23 cm/14.5 l).

The Box fits for 5 spools of 800g or 4 spools of 1kg.
Additionally I've cut out a circle and inserted a round humidity sensor. From inside the box I fixed the sensor with hot glue so it is almost hermetic.
On the top border I glued a thin layer of window seal to get the complete box hermetic.
I used this one:

where I cut off a 2mm string with scissors and glued it with UHU por on the box.
Finally it comes to the Thing:
The printed Desiccant Box consists of 3 parts printed with transparent Filament. Bottom and Top are glued together with a few drops CA glue.
Fill in desiccant silica gel about half of the box then snap in the Cover part.
The filled box is placed on the bottom of the IKEA box and ready to store the spools.
As the silica gel changes its color when it needs to be refreshed you should use transparent filament.
If the box is too large for your printer you can either cut out pieces with you slicer program or edit the attached source with Plasticity.
