Seeing positive results with spool holder mods...
Starting a new thread to document my spool holder modifications to increase drying and storage performance.
My first modification was to attempt to seal the spool holder to prevent ambient moisture from seeping in through holes, gaps or pores in the walls. I first tried using the aerosol version of flex seal on the inside of the spool holder. This was a total mess. The product was very difficult to apply evenly and remained very tacky intentionally due to interactions between the plastic and the aerosols in the can. I also used caulk to seal the outside gap between the drier adapter and main body. Unfortunately I didn't see appreciable increases in performance.
I then found a can of clear brush on flex seal and that went on much better. I applied an additional coat on the inside of the spool holder and also applied a coat to the exterior.…

Spoolbox observations
So, I finished my build 2 weeks ago.
I have to say the build turned out gorgeous, especially if you postprocess and paint it. Kudos to Enrico for such a beautiful design.
However here are my observations to help the other members and others considering doing this build.
After lots of testing here are my observations and the issues that I faced that you will and might run into:

Well I sealed the inside of my spool box with FlexSeal clear spray. Still testing it. I think it will help, but I do not recommend the spray product. It made a mess and went on very uneven. It is still sticky a day later. If i had to do it again I would use the brush on product.
Feeder Lines Too Short?
Did I get a bad batch from Snapmaker? Got my left side dry box finished, and the feeder cables are definitely not long enough. #1 spool is workable but not ideal. #2 spool doesn't reach the auto feeder at all. They are all the same length. Anyone else have this?
Also, with the spool holder attached, the plastic chassis on this thing really squeaks when moved. I checked the barren opposite side and it squeaks when you press on it as well, bit I think the weight of the spool holder definitely exacerbates it.
Another tip: the temp/humidity sensors linked to on Amazon are very fickle. Any pressure applied will glitch the screen. You need to be careful with how you install them to make sure they aren't tweaked.
Ignore the glass plate templates temporarily taped in.

Inside your printer there is a lot of useful cable, it might be blocked by some holder and that's why It doesn't reach the filament feeder. If you are talking about the PTFE tubes, they definitly need to to be changed for some longer ones or you gonna have feed and pull issues and even waves on your printed parts.

I would just go for a 2k trasparent epoxy painting, Easy and very resistant quick drying solution.
Anyway, I’m reconsidering the decisión of installing those spools holders and use a PopCap with Creality SpacePi X4 dryer on top that would cost the same but for sure would be much more efficient.
