fillament holder/box

so I thought rather than just the holder the printer comes with I though I would make a holder/box for the filaments to both keep dust off and also to be able to put some silica beads in to keep them as dry as possible.

I'm half way there with the design

cant decide if to try and design it for some proper bearings or to try and 3d print some or not bother with them.

The plan is to share the file and obviously be able to print it.

if any one has any ideas for it I would be happy to try and work them in.

This is the best one I have ever seen:

Maybe some inspiration from it.

I rather like this one (but have not gotten around to printing one yet):

the clear panels (so you can tell how much filament is left) is an important add in my opinion, and the attempt at a measuring ruler on the side is also a nice add.

Look at others on Thingiverse and get all the features you like in one place.
