New 3D Printed Desiccant Container Designs and Tips on Using Infill Patterns

Be Sure to watch the last half of the video on How I used Infill patterns for the Hex patterns on the parts. Look in Printables.com (soon on MakerWorld) and download some files of these new desiccant container designs meant to help keep your filament dry and organized.

I will note that even with a single filament dryer - the spool holder shaped desiccant holder will be useful to me. I mostly print PLA, so it's usually turned off anyways, I just turn it on when I'm anticipating printing in PETG or TPU.

Printed the PETG one finally, and it works. A bit of a slow print, but hopefully worth it. I think I'll print a couple more in PLA that won't go into the dryer box but will hold the desiccants in the sealed Sterilite containers I use to store my filaments in. The PLA ones look like they'll print much faster, since I'm going to take the solid version and use the infill trick.

Really good ideas! I don't have a way to vent my enclosure to the outside, so not going to print anything with fumes. That said, PETG should work fine, the filament dryer really shouldn't be hot enough to give PETG any problems. I'm inspired to finally set up a way to keep my filament dry, I didn't even think about drying the desiccant in the filament dryer.

I hope it works for you. You can download them on Printables.com and soon MakerWorld.

@@V3Precision It should work, assuming the adjustments I made to increase print speed don't ruin the fit. Lots of holes increases print time quite a bit.
