I wanted to connect the new Polymaker PolyDryer to my larger container, so I designed this adapter plate to fit the PolyDryer to any container. I had some issues cutting holes in my box without cracking the plastic, so I created the cutting guide plates to go with it.

Cutting Guides
To use these plates, you want to tape one down (the two cutting guides are the same) on the outside of the container in the place you want the dryer to mount. Then use a drill bit to drill the holes for the 8 screws. Place the second cutting guide plate on the other side of box and screw the two plates using some M3 screws (the length of these will depend on how thick your box is) and nuts. Next, use a Dremel or similar cutting tool to cut out the wall of the container in the two opening. Once the cutting is done, remove the screws, nuts, and the two cutting guide plates.
