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. Use the plain lids with color-changing beads or when there’s already a hygrometer in the same container (e.g., an AMS or a tub). The lid with the integrated hygrometer is great when storing filament in bags or tubs. The idea behind in-hub desiccant containers is not new (links below), however, this range offers improvements over existing solutions: - They use quarter-turn (bayonet) closures instead of screw-threads because they print more robustly. - The different container si…
