Description

 

I printed out the Hydra mod for the Bambu AMS unit by humebeam (https://makerworld.com/en/models/18570#profileId-19327) and really liked their design for the desiccant boxes. So I made it larger, made it more ventilated, changed the screw hole position, changed the screw hole design.

 

I had a 2LB bag of desiccant for an airtight storage tote and decided to make a desiccant box with a sliding lid, ventilation holes, a pull lip, and locks in place with a screw. This prints without supports, uses 54G of filament, and on my strength-profile for my P1S, prints in 3.5 hours on stanard. The slots are 2mm wide. Don't shake it too much, as some beads inside might break in half and be able to slip out.

 

A funnel is reccomended to pour in the desiccant beads. I've accidentally spilled them twice and I promise you they manage to get absolutely EVERYWHERE!

Use an M3 Screw ranging from 6mm to 12mm to lock in place. Use a little “oomph” when screwing it down the first time so it creates its own threads.

 

.Step files included - Take and remix to your desired size or what have you. Steal it, sell it; it's hard for me to care. But if you can, link back to me.

I'm a newbie to the 3d modeling scene…. The worstest, I might add.

The prints come out perfectly fine. We use it to store coffee beans, which effectively eliminates odors in the refrigerator. It works wonderfully. Many thanks for creating and sharing this model!

Works well! Lid slides freely. Like others said, some of the desiccant is too small and falls through. I held it over a trash can and shook it until that stopped. I like how much it holds.

Printed perfectly! I am using this in my "dry" box for rolls that are not being used but will be used!

Thanks! Great print! I just need one of these square desiccant boxes! Of course, it would be nice if the grid could be a little thinner.

fantastic design but the slots might be a little big. I have a few desiccant fall through slots. I still use it though
