Description
This is a remix of my earlier desiccant box (https://www.printables.com/model/1160509-filament-roll-sized-deesicant-box-with-hygrometer) which is itself a remix of DMK's filament roll-sized desiccant box (https://www.printables.com/model/194676-filament-roll-sized-desiccant-box) DMK's original desiccant drybox is great but I wanted something a little shallower to take up less space in my storage boxes and I found the lack of any fixture to keep the lid attached problematic. I modified the lid and base to include threads but found the smaller threads on my previous print difficult to dial in perfectly and get good tolerances. I replaced the existing threads with MUCH thicker/broader threads and reformatted the box and lid to suit. This box has no side venting due to the larger threads but the venting on top and bottom should still be sufficient. I also inserted a holder for a round Hygrometer ( https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07FCPJRFH ), pulled from another AMS Drypods model ( https://www.printables.com/model/635891-dry-pods-with-hydrometer-ams-desicant-trays-for-ba ). There's a version without the Hygro as well. Now with a funnel to aid filling (I recommend you close the lid first, then fill with desiccant) I printed this in ABS and I can simply drop several of these at a time into my Filament dryer to recharge the desiccant - no need to disassemble them at all.
AI Analysis: This object is a tool designed for storing and managing filament rolls, featuring a desiccant box with a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels. It includes a screw lid for secure storage and is intended for use in a workshop or manufacturing environment to maintain optimal conditions for filament storage.
