Want to modify a design and don't know how. We can help and often work for free, email us to ask. See the contact detail on our page. For more of my designs check out my website: https://3domcontact.wixsite.com/3dom Simple design of a holder for Desiccant. I added a central tube for functionality but to also add more air surface area contact. Intended for 3-5mm dia desiccant - "Blue Indicating Silica Gel" - https://www.silicagel.com.au/1-kg-blue-silica-gel-beads-self-indicating/ The photos are of my first test that had clearance on the connection from the lid to the body. It did not hold well like this, so I redesigned it with a thread (M18x2.5) on the inside of the core tube and matching on the lid. See Section screen image. Works well printed without supports. Just be sure to flip the lid so that the flat surface is down if your slicing yourself. I found the had did not work well compared to the identical set-up o the Prusament version, so I have updated it. New Gcode and STLs (V7) attached. This was a test piece intended to test the printing of the slots. The full size version is designed to fit neatly inside a Prusment spool core hole.
