Description

SPILLPROOF AMS Desiccant Box - No Hygrometer

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.

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 3 larger boxes can be DOUBLED-UP to get even more desiccant in, just print an additional set and slide in behind the first set (skinny side boxes don't fit this way though) Use the Double-Up print profile to print just these.

As featured in BV3D: Bryan Vine's video about Desiccant in the AMS:

Not sure what I did wrong but when I printed these out theres no vent holes. its a solid box??

@AeonJoey

Hi there, you need to use one of the print profiles to achieve the look.

@user_807537228

I will try that. thank you!

Fit and finish are great. They work also. This is the reading from my sensor. https://www.sensorpush.com/products/p/ht1

Very nice design. Easy printing with PLA Basic Black without any problems. I have adapted the model "No Hygrometer" for a TFA hygrometer with 46x46x13mm. Fits perfectly.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the boost and pics! you beat me to it! lol I have a list of requested hygrometers, working through them each weekend ^_^

Very clever design and a shame it was ripped off so blatantly by others. I printed out the smaller end box to test and it is too long to fit in AMS. I originally came across the “other guy's” set and printed an end box in PA6-CF20 on my X1C to see if I liked it. I found their design creates thin connectors where they added horizontal vent slots, and it broke easily. So, I went back to MW and saw yours and printed it with the same material, but it printed longer and did not fit the AMS, gets stuck. I checked the two designs in the slicer and yours is 94.0mm from face to face, theirs 93.0mm. I measured the prints and they came in at 94.0 and 92.9 respectively so they printed very dimensionally accurate out of my printer. The photo is of the box from your design and the face of what is left of theirs, you can see the offset (other end is flush). With all the positive reviews and a great design, there must be some logical explanation here. Note I have the newest AMS if that makes any difference. I can just scale it down a bit. Just trying to understand why it hasn’t been noticed before and if scaling it is the right thing to do.

Hey there, thanks for the thorough review and explanation! so it sounds like one of two things is happening: 1. something that has come up a handful of times is that sometimes the AMS assembly isn’t seated fully in the enclosure - something that doesn’t affect functionality but affects the clearance between the “floor” and “roof” - for that situation, disassembling the AMS assembly tray like you would to replace ptfe tubes and re-seating it fixes it ( https://forum.bambulab.com/t/solved-printable-ams-desiccant-boxes-don-t-allow-the-ams-lid-to-close/107435 ) 2. you may have a new new new AMS that perhaps Bambu Labs changed the internal dimensions of - if that’s the case I should absolutely update the design to better fit universally, I just haven’t had anyone be able to corroborate since they all turn out to the issue #1. if you do the disassembly please let me know how it turns out!

Replying to @AeonJoey :

Thanks for the response. (and sorry about the original post with all that extra crap at the bottom, I write in a text editor and paste here and screwed something up) I removed the plate as directed and found a desiccant bead in the right front corner so thought “Yah! Found it” (because the right side was worse than left). But when I “re-seated” it there was no change. It is unclear to me why this process would fix it anyway (unless there was an obstruction lifting the plate) because the front edge just sits there with nothing holding it in place, just the two screws in back. In the forum link the problem description reads “…. reporting they can’t close their AMS lid after inserting them”. This does not describe my issue, nothing to do with lid. The problem is the test printed desiccant box won’t slide forward (particularly on the right side). It gets hung up on the top rail that mates with the lid. I have two AMS units, one that came early this year, the other a couple of weeks ago (I should have thought to do a fit check with the second unit, duh!). The test box I printed fit the second one. The AMS with the problem is the original one and I had pulled the plate a few months back to clear a broken filament in the magnet chamber so it made sense that could have changed something. But it appears to me after carefully observing that the unit is warped slightly, the top rail or the bottom plate. This could have come from the factory or maybe pulling the plate out did something. Regardless, the space from the floor to the top rail is less than 94mm. The test box will fit in, it just hangs up. So, I went ahead with my idea of printing them slightly shorter in the Y-axis (99%). I like the way they fit looser in the non-warped AMS unit better anyway. They can be inserted and pulled quicker. Since most people have no issues a redesign does not seem warranted, but shortening them 1mm wouldn’t hurt. Or maybe update instructions to test fit a small box and it is OK to shorten up in the Y-axis. I did a minor remix on the design to add side vents and make the hygrometer hole open in the back. I printed with 40% infill to get a wider mesh area so the beads are easier to see. The boxes are in annealing now and when they are done, I will post a real review with photos. Thanks for the help.

Replying to @user_3145869106 :

Have you checked if your AMS is/was assembled correctly? Mine wasnt (from the factory). I was also wondering, why the box would not fit, so i had a closer look. the front of the of the base plate was not sitting where it had to sit. I think they did not pay attention while doing the assembly. I fixed that and afterwards the box did fit as expected.

I don't have an AMS, but I printed a couple of these at 150% to use in my plastic tubs where I store my filament. The lid fits perfectly and slides very well even when printed at 150%.

@AeonJoey

Sweet! ha yeah I've done the same, someone made a remix to fit inside the cereal boxes for spools too, I should offer up a couple of sizes for thoes who just want a desiccant box

@Polgara12

Perfect just what I needed.

ooh that looks handsome with that purple, thanks for the pic!

Very simple, yet clever design. I like how the infill pattern is used to make the grid on the front and back. I lowered the infill to 30% for more airflow and printed in PC so I can pop the whole thing in the dehydrator to recharge.

@AeonJoey

oh noice! these look great in this filament, thanks so much for the boost and pics!

Printed perfectly. Used the profile for the P1S with zero issues. Printed the additional 3x larger ones to fill in the space and to take advantage of the additional beads I can include!

Useful especially because it can contain a lot of dessicant and it is easy to close the containers. I printed them by modifying the infill with 30% rectilinear and lowering the models by 0.6 mm to reduce the thicknesses that I do not consider necessary

thanks for the rating! did you run into problems with the original? why the downvote?

Replying to @AeonJoey :

Hi @AeonJoey no problem, I preferred your remix to the original because it has a locking system that I like better. I only changed the infill because I don't like the grid (personal opinion). I wanted to give you 5 stars, probably I clicked wrong because I see 4... I'll correct it now ;-)
