This series of Models are based on Cagriahiskali’s beautiful desiccant boxes, and the many other remixes for various hygrometers by others credited in the remix-based-on section below.
Works with rectangular snap-in hygrometers like these:
These are all re-designed completely, but keeping the face design.
Redesigned slide rail lids, closure, handles, and orientation.
These slide-on covers positively enclose the desiccant with a nice SNAP that is easy to re-open without damaging the closure.
Specifically redesigned to not explode-open inside AMS
Lid cannot slide off inside AMS, lifting the box by it’s tab closes it even tighter
Works with Silica Gel beads and Activated Alumina beads
Middle larger boxes can be DOUBLED-UP to get even more desiccant in, just print an additional 2 and slide in behind the first set. (I don't recommend doubling up the center position to allow air to reach the hygrometer. Skinny side boxes cannot be doubled up due to space limitation) Use the Double-Up print profile to print just these.
As featured in BV3D: Bryan Vine's video about Desiccant in the AMS:
Versions for each popular hygrometer variety are available:
Mine printed in a little over 3 hours using Bambu Matte PLA on my X1C. I am not sure why it took that long based on the profile example time in the 3MF. But it printed great!
I abandoned my other desiccant holders in favor of this just because it holds the same hygrometer I already had. Perfect fit on the hygrometer and each box fit great.
Thanks for sharing these!
Awesome, thank you so much for the boost, rating and feedback! Interesting about the time for print, I wonder if it's due to the volumetric flow difference in filaments? I used bambu PLA which has a default of 21/mms; if you use a different brand or generic, you can do the flow calibration to discover it's number, if it's less than 21 it would take longer, higher flow filments like elegoo rapid PLA and mods like CHT nozzles can ramp that number up which would print faster - these are all regardless of the print speed setting. Sorry TMI!! Thank you again! they look great and love your set up with the nameplates for the filaments!
Hey there..... my vol flow was 22mms/3 -- i tweaked the profile to be a consistent .4... I didn't realize it when I posted this, so that's probably it. Thanks for looking out for my difference in the time! I am pretty sure it was just my OCD keeping things in line with a multiple of .04 for everything and just going for a .4 target which I rarely do - but this model seemed to really need the finer line details for the mesh, so I went smaller... Thanks again for this.... I am considering a 2nd AMS so I will probably will be printing these again. :) cheers!
The print came out great; I did have a question, though. Are they supposed to slide underneath the box lip? I currently have it slanted so I can close and seal the ams lid, but when I force the boxes under, it puts quite a bit of stress on the entire ams box.
Hi there, to answer your question, yes they should slide snugly but easily under the lip and allow the lid to close normally, soooooo- looks like you’re lucky #8 of AMS owners with this issue (out of over 32,000+ successful prints of these variants), here’s the definitive way it’s solved every time for everyone else with this issue thus far, but, if this doesn’t work for you please let me know in case something else is up, thanks: https://forum.bambulab.com/t/solved-printable-ams-desiccant-boxes-don-t-allow-the-ams-lid-to-close/107435?u=aeonjoey
Oh my god, thank you for this. I printed these and they're great, except that I can't fit the little one all the way to the right. I know it's the AMS and not the print, since neither of the two little ones will fit on the right but either will fit on the left. I was perplexed. This must be it. Thank you.
WOW! This was a perfect project to reduce the humidity in the AMS. Humidity went from 40% to 12%. The humidity meter from Amazon fits perfectly. I used clear PETG so it was easier to see the desiccant inside, although I am not sure it mattered. I don't know what else to say but, BRAVO!
