Description

I was inspired by the desiccant drying tray by PCHuDSoN but wanted to have a friction fit lid and a pour spout to easily dispense the refreshed desiccant back into their vessels.

 

I have designed this with a friction fit lid with 2 small lid catches to hold the lid on well. I also designed the spout to fit nicely with the small AMS dry pods I printed from Trey's Designs.

 

The print is designed to not need supports for the pour spout and prints well with PETG. There should be 0 top and bottom layers and 40% infill to allow air gaps to aid with drying of the desiccant beads.  I have found that the beads dry faster with the lid off, so that does not need to be printed without the top and bottom layers.

 

I dried a half tray at 70C for about 6 hours with the Auxiliary and Chamber fans at 50% and the beads were back to bright orange.  If you put the lid on, and plug the spout with your thumb, you can gently shake the tray a few time during drying to mix them up to speed drying.

Replying to @CheeseMcGee :
I printed the bottom at 40pct which is about a .5mm diameter hole, and I printed the top at 21pct which is about a 1.9mm diameter hole. after drying and cooling the silica in tray bottom, I can attach the top and then flip it over and shake out all the crappy bits and pieces less than 2mm diameter. of course some get stuck in the holes.... then I pour the good silica beads into storage container!
