Description

This is a tapered cap with Handle for KYZ Design's FF2 High Flow Desiccant Holders. It adds a small handle so they can be installed in the desiccant holders without a tool. They sit almost as flush as the stock version, but go further into the holders to make room for fingers to grab the handle (so a tiny amount of volume is lost).

I included a profile which has 4 caps together on one plate, since I doubt that anyone how uses the holders has just one :D I have about 20 of them by now. If you do not use the profile, note that the part named “mesh” should be printed with no top or bottom layers and 0 or 1 walls, and triangle infill, since it is supposed to be a mesh like area to help with the airflow to the gel beads.

Thanks to KYZ Design for the awesome FF2 High Flow Desiccant Holders! If you are having issues and need some holders, check em out. They hold a lot of silica gel and are easy to install and use with the AMS. The holders fit most spools, they worked on about 90% of my spools, with just a few that are too wide or too narrow. If you are using quite a few of these like I am, it can be less expensive to get a gallon of the stuff, this is what I use, and it seems to be doing well.

nice design！ This design coincides with my idea. I just made a triangular cut at the bottom. It is also easy to assemble and does not affect the filling volume.

Thanks! Yeah a taper on threads is a good way to get them started. The loss of volume on this does not seem very significant though, maybe a spoonful. I remixed an earlier revision of the cap which used the stock design (which did not affect the filling volume), by simply added a bar which stood just a bit proud of the top. The issue with that design was that it would not allow the spools to lay perfectly flat on top of each other, if they were stacked, but it did not interfere with the AMS. The design posted here was meant to allow the spools to stack (since some folks store them that way), and also have enough of a gripping area on the handle to make it easy to turn. The compromise though was a small amount of the volume, which seemed to me an ok tradeoff, since these hold a good amount.

No problem! All credit goes to KYZ Design, for both allowing remixes and the wonderful design that was shared (and used to make this very small remix).
