Description

Desiccant container designed for the following cereal boxes from Amazon (brand names: YASHE, OSTBA APPLIANCE, and others):

To install the desicant container in the cereal dry box I used hot glue but any other glue of your choice should work as well.

I tested the desiccant container with the most cardboard and plastic spools ≤ 1kg from several brands and all fits fine. You should even be able to also print directly out of the dry box without any problems (not tested yet).

The desiccant container can contain up to more than 250g of desiccant (see pictures). That is more than enough to keep the filament dry and should last for month.

You can directly see througt the lid of the cereal box if the silica gel is saturated and changed it's color. To renew it you just need to open the airtight lid to pour out the silica gel. After drying it you can just fill it back in without opening the entire box or removing the filament. That makes renewing the desiccant super easy and fast.

If you also need a spool holder and want to install a Hygrometer, you can print this model: Filament Dry Box w Desiccant Container +Hygrometer

To glue that silica box to the container is everything but optimal - sadly

Hi, yes, that's the only way I found to keep the lid air-tight. Using hot glue actually works great and can be removed without leaving any residue. 😉

After approximately 7.5 hours, the print using PETG-HF on my X1C was complete. The supports were somewhat stubborn but eventually yielded. The hot gluing worked, but noticeably less cleanly than in the images. The protruding remnants that had bulged inwards were easily removed, even from the plastic of the container, raising some residual doubts about the permanence of the adhesion. I also have the impression that, although the container sits precisely above the hole, the model attempts to utilize the last millimeter, now touching the Bambu Lab spool. I still need to determine what this means for the "smooth" running of the spool, but the PTFE couplings and hoses are still en route. If all goes well, this is a very elegant solution
