Cap for Screwless Filament Feeder - 1.75
I'd like to thank Sreisig1 for making the Screwless Filament Feeder, out of all the drybox ports I've found his is the most simple and compact.

I'll start off by saying that this part is expected to be printed in a flexible filament like TPU, I don't know if it will even work printed in rigid filament because I never tried.
While building my drybox I discovered that I had a mix of spool widths, so to be able to accommodate the maximum variety of spools in my drybox I decided to put 9 ports in the side of my box. The problem I immediately had was I didn't have nine narrow spools to put in the box and now I had openings that allowed humidity in. So I sat down and built this part, when printed in TPU it fits snugly over the hex head of the port and sits completely flush with the box. The center post actually gets larger at the base to help ensure a tight fit.
I have also attached the SketchUp file in case anyone needs to modify it or make something else completely awesome from it.
The other cap you see in the picture attached to the PTFE tube was made by Lichtzeichenanlage and you can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2459359
