Description

This is a drying tray for the desiccant for your AMS under the sun or in your P1 or X1. The holes and slots are 2mm. This tray should fit different desiccants on the market.

There is a cover with a notch to allow the beads to be poured back into the dry boxes. This drying tray can contain all the beads used in my AMS. They are in PLA. I dried the desiccants on my P1S build plate at 65 degrees Celsius for 7 hours with the lid covered. The chamber fan and aux fan are at 50% speed. It works pretty well. If you go with higher temperatures using high-temperature materials, it should dry quicker.

These are the dry boxes I am using from lloydliu and carlos_3_d.

Thanks Fooblinator's suggestion for updating the fillet to a chamfer. It works exactly the same but will give a better finishing. I pulled down the fillet version and put in a chamfer version. Sorry to those who wasted your material.

I used the standard 0,2 layer Profil from bambu with calibrated PETG, what is going on? :⁠-⁠\

I used a pretty large radius for this fillet, which may not be good for PETG. I didn't print this part with PETG. Sorry for that. Perhaps you may try with a smaller layer height and lower printing speed to deal with the overhang. If it can't help, I will release a version with a smaller radius. Welcome to share your printing profile if you get a decent result with your PETG.

I should have been wary of the fact that there is a filet instead of a chamfer next to the build plate. I have never been successful printing filets in that manner, even before I started my Bambu printer journey. That said, after a bunch of post-processing such as sanding and such, I was able to rescue the print. Don't get me wrong, I like the print. And if I had decided to re-print, I might think about changing that filet to a chamfer. But, to me, this is a functional print, and not necessarily an esthetic one; so, I'll use it as is. I do appreciate your efforts and design. Note: I printed in ABS, and slowly, with support enabled. I'm sure my print settings could be better tuned.

Thanks for your appreciation and your feedback. Chamfer works precisely the same way I intended. It will definitely be beneficial for printing. I updated the design to a chamfer and recalled the fillet one. This is how the community works. Thank again!!

@44Josh

interesting, are you using the chamber of the x1c to dry the desiccant? if so what settings do you use?

I used the P1S. Build plate temperature set to 65 deg with the P1S glass lid covered. The lid of this model was covered to trap heat. The RH was around 50% at my home. Mix the beads occasionally to allow water vapor escapes. Other than that, I set the aux fan and chamber fan to 50% (I didn't turn to 100% to keep an acceptable noise level) to remove the water vapor from the chamber promptly. The tray was a little soft at 65 deg but not deforming. I even tried 70 deg for a while, still fine. I printed both parts with Sunlu PLA+. It took me around 7 hours to achieve the outcome in the photo. I would prefer drying the desiccant under the sun without the lid next time to save energy.
