About this model
These desiccant containers come in a range of lengths to fit inside different reels and come with a plain lid and one with an integrated hygrometer. This range tries to strike the best balance between airflow, strength, printability, and usability. It is for 3-5mm desiccant beads, which are readily available in bulk.
