Description

This is the easiest way to keep your filaments dry. A Silica gel container that takes about 400g of silica gel, The mini version takess 330g, and fits in AMS or probably any filament dryer (two of them fit in one slot). You can keep it in your AMS or wherever you store your filaments and easily move it in your filament dryer to recharge the silica gel, no need for refilling or having different containers.

You can also print the middle part to have a hydrometer on your spool. It's optional to install this part. I wanted to have the option to remove it super easily because they seem not to be working great in the filament dryer and I still haven't found a nicer way to mount the mount on the spool but it works for now. I'd really appreciate any ideas or opinions on how to mount it.

 

It also comes with a funnel for easy filling.

 

Note: print in your toughest filament if planning to dry it in your filament dryer.

 

If you're using PETG translucent It's gonna be a long print.

 

Enjoy printing.

Printed great, hoping to use this model to recharge Silica beads in the filament dryer instead of firing up the oven

Printed great with SUNLU Transparent PLA, takes just under a pound of Silica to fill.

very stringy. not sure if it's the material I used or what but the pieces didn't fit together snugly and came apart when filled less than halfway with beads.

Thank you for your feedback. I believe the string is because of the moisture in your filament, parts like this one are a bit more sensitive. About the fit, I think it works ok with a super glue or any glue that can stick to your material, there was a good number of successful prints with this profile.
