No matter what I used, I always spilled desiccant all over the floor while transferring it from the bottle to whatever device/container I was trying to fill, especially the ones with small holes. So, I designed this funnel dispenser, which I think solved all my problems.
Features:
Extracts the required desiccant amount without exposing the bottle's content to moisture.
10mm funel tip that fits 99% of existing desiccant printer gadgets/containers out there.
Once your desiccant gadget is full, you can dump the remaining desiccant on the dispenser back into the bottle.
Three models, two for small and large bottles and one for bigger mouth containers.
Removable engineered print supports to adhere and stabilize the model while printing.
Hot to use:
Open your desiccant container.
Insert the dispenser until it dives deep enough into the desiccant pool so the bottom bucket is totally submerged.
IMPORTANT!!!! Once the dispenser bottom bucket is filled up, lift it up out of the desiccant pool a few millimeters and spin it quickly back and forth so the top layer of desiccant spins out of the bucket top layer, so when you extract the dispenser out of the bottle, no pebbles fall out of the brim while moving it to the intended container.
To pour the desiccant into the target container, just tilt the dispenser towards the container opening and play with the tilt angle to adjust the desired feed rate to start filling the container.
Repeat as many times as needed.
How to print:
Please add a 10mm brim to the three fins so the dispenser adheres firmly to the build plate.
Once the print is done, you can snap off the three fins to start using the dispenser.
That's a great point church. I currently have the models in the print profiles tagged with the outside diameter, but I should have done the same for the print profile names. I will add that right away.
Thank you for your feedback!!!
