About this model
Shortly after getting into 3D printing, I came face to face with the need to store filament and that meant dealing with desiccants. I took a look around other offerings and decided to spin my own. My goals for this project were: * Cylindrical and able to fit inside the center hole of filament spools I am using (~50mm dia.) * Able to contain the desiccant I am using (2mm-4mm dia.) * Maximize air flow through the container * Minimize printing time (I need to make many of these and lots of small holes increases printing time.)
