A desiccant container to place inside filament reels when they are being stored in plastic bags. Also suitable for use in the AMS even whilst it is in use.

This is a reworking of:

except that the desiccant holder is specifically sized to fit snugly inside genuine Bambu Lab filament reels. It also has a perforated base as there is minimal clearance along the sides to permit air to enter there. Finally a set of three tangs has been added to lightly grip the sides of the reel.

Holes in base and slotted areas are sized at 1.5mm width so suitable for desiccants with a granule diameter of 2mm and above.

Prints with support enabled but if orientated as in the supplied profile the only support used is in the lid pinch area and this is easily removed. It looks almost solid when printed but if you pry with, preferably, a pair of fine nosed pliers the two support areas usually detach in one piece and with minimal force.

If printed correctly no post processing is required. The lugs on the lid are rotated by 60 degrees to lock so even if it moves slightly the lid is unlikely to detach.

Do NOT overfill the holder or you may have difficulty closing or opening the lid.

Note that the holder should be inserted in reels with the perforated base first and lightly pressed until the lid end is flush. To remove the holder you should continue to push from the lid end until the holder emerges from the reel. If you push it in the reverse direction you could potentially break the securing tangs.

Model has been modified to print more quickly.
