Description

Don't forget to leave a rating if you printed it!

Need to dry your silica gel? I have the solution!

This is a simple basked designed to hold 1-2mm (or bigger) silica gel beads.
It conveniently sits on the rollers inside the Sunlu S2 Dryer to let heat get to it from all sides.
Outside of the Sunlu S2 it can also just be placed anywhere you wish as it's got holes on all sides.
 

Usage: For drying my silica I turn the dryer on on the highest setting (70c) and leave it overnight this dries it fully
Note: I printed it in PolyLite ASA and would recommend printing it in ABS or ASA so you can heat it up to 70c

Updates
- Increased the width by 6mm to improve printability of the small outher edges

Needed to add a brim to improve the first layer adhesion after a couple of early fails. All turned out good in the end and my silica packs are cooking away nicely now 😎

Thanks for the comment I printed it a while ago but I believe I had the same but that it was fixed by cleaning my plate with water and dish soap. How ever I just wanted to add a brim to make it more reliable but Bambulab slicer doesn't think it needs it and I don't think there is a way to force it.

With ABS, after trying to print it 4 times and staying up until 2AM, the outer edges of the arches kept coming off the build plate. I tried multiple build plates, no glue and with glue, no brim and with brim, ABS being actively dried. I finally just turned on supports and the brim and it printed perfectly fine. I think the outer edges of the arches are too small and don't have enough surface area to stay on even with a clean build plate or glue. But I made a print profile for ABS so others don't have to struggle late into the night like I did 😂 Otherwise, the model is fantastic! Just finished drying my desiccant and we're ready to go! Edit: All of this was after I printed it out of PLA, started drying some desiccant, and the bottom started sagging from the heat. So don't do PLA like I did 😂

I am sorry for the time you spent trying to print it I kinda forgot to take into account that ABS is more of a bitch than ASA. I've since updated the model to be slightly wider (so bigger surface on the outer sides) as well as included brims in the original print profile.

Despite using original Bambu ABS, the nozzle repeatedly clogged during three attempts Somehow, the part cannot be printed this way A cheaper PETG filament worked!

Thanks for the review, but I feel like there is most likely another issue going on causing your issues. As the way you are printing shouldn't be causing a nozzle to clog where as fillament settings might do this.

hm, possibly yes but other prints with tiny holes lika a case for activated carbon also came out without no problems.

I like the design and it is printable with A1 mini. I scaled up to 110% in X direction. With this modification it fits into the Creality Space Pi filament dryer. I printed from PETG because the A1 mini can not use ABS or ASA, so I use the dryer in PETG setting.
