Integrated Filament Enclosure (Dry-Box) Mod – Elegoo Centauri Carbon 1

This project replaces the stock external filament holder on the right side of the printer with an enclosed, integrated side dry-box.

Practical Advantages:

Space Saving: The filament spool sits partially recessed, significantly reducing the overall width and footprint of the printer on your desk.

Moisture Protection: Keeps your filament enclosed and protected from dust and ambient room humidity.

Passive Warmth: It utilizes the ambient heat generated inside the printer enclosure to keep the filament dry during long prints (ideal for PA-CF, PETG, ABS).

Quick Access: The outer door allows you to swap spools quickly without opening the main printing chamber.

Insulation & Sealing: To maintain internal heat and ensure a proper dry-box seal, apply a 4mm thick and 1cm wide self-adhesive foam insulation tape (standard window weatherstripping) along the contact frame of the door.
Alternative Left-Side Configuration:
This mod can also be printed and adapted for the left side of the printer. To help passive dry other filament.
Note: If you choose to adapt it for the left side, print in mirror the top left part of the door.

I used Only PLA for mine and consumed almost one filament roll , but it is recommended to use a more temperature-resistant filament for the inner part.
