Updated with 3 Print in Place gaps: Desiccant Box Model for 3D Printing. 0.18mm, 0.20mm, 0.22mm

************************

Update: Some users reported tight hinge or impossible to break loose the hinges.

I added 2 more models with 0.02mm more gap and 0.04mm more gap.

I used 0.18 on my P1S. It is perfect.

The 0.22 on my P1S would be too loose for sure.

So you may want to start with 0.20 gap, and then go either way according to how tight you want the hinges to be.

Desiccant Box Model for 3D Printing

Designed for optimal moisture protection, this desiccant box is an ideal solution for storing desiccant beads or silica gel beads ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Precision-engineered, the box features 1.9mm holes ensuring maximum effectiveness of the beads while preventing them from spilling out.

Key Features:

• Printed with the Bambu Lab P1S Printer: Showcasing the capabilities of this printer, the model boasts a crisp finish and impressive detailing. It is so satisfying by watch P1S do hundreds of those 1.9mm holes. After it's done, you will trust your P1S can do anything you want!
• Print-in-Place Design: Simplifying the assembly process, this model doesn't require additional steps post-printing. The hinge and latch systems are both integrated into the single print.
• Material Compatibility: The box is compatible with generic PLA and PLA+ filaments.
• Extended Print Time: Clocking in at approximately 3 hours, the extended print time ensures that every detail, especially the small holes, is perfected.
• Secure Latch Design: Created with the user in mind, the latch is intentionally tight to prevent unintentional openings and potential spills.
• Print-in-Place Hinge: A sturdy hinge is built directly into the design. During the initial break-in, it's crucial to support the box close to the hinge. There are three hinging sections to work through; simply start from one side and wiggle back and forth. The initial cracking sound is a normal part of the process, signaling the hinge breaking free.
• Versatile Use: I've personally printed over 10 of these boxes, using several for my filament storage and others for dry storage for my additional printers.

Usage Recommendations: Upon first use, carefully break in the hinge by following the mentioned process to ensure longevity.
