I made a cover for the filament reels on my U1

Hi there Snapmakers! I want to tell you about one of my first projects I did for my U1. I use PETG for most of my work and this stuff is known to be hygrscopic, more or less.... And I think that it is not very good for the filament reels to hang in the open for probably long time, especially at my place because I also have a tropical aquarium that will evaporate water thereby increasing the humidity in my room. So I decided to crate protection against that and I designed a cover that will prevent this. The cover is printed in parts on my Anycubic Kobra 2 max because this printer has a 45x45 cm printbed wich is just big enough to make the parts in one piece. All in all it took me around 3 reels of 1 KG of white PETG and one reel of black PETG for the two baskets that have to contain the silicagel bags that come with every reel that I get buy. So NEVER dispose of them anymore! So here are the photo's I took today of my first prototype.
