Updated Leg & Lid for Silica Gel Desiccant Holder and Roller

thingiverse

Updated the upright legs to the great Silica Gel Desiccant Holder and Roller design. I wanted a little tighter tolerances on the fitment of the legs to the base and the bearings. The triangles now fit snugly in the base and don't really need anything else to hold em in but I'm going to add a dab of glue to make extra sure. Note: Don't make the mistake I did of opening this in your slicer and going ugh and flipping 180 flat side down. The back is not flat and is contoured to match the grade change of the canister (love designs with that attention to detail). I printed mine flat side up with supports and they came out great. 2nd Update, added new lid as well with an integrated hygrometer in the front for easier monitoring. So far I've printed all my parts for this with PETG and for those wanting to do this for the lid and bottom basket if you take infill all the way to zero and bump walls to 6 it actually shaves time off the make and you don't have to worry about PETG stringing from numerous retractions. 3rd Update, I reworked the roller leg again since printing it face down with supports didn't always produce the quality I like to use. I reworked the leg now so that it prints with the flat side down and the center pin/triangle insert face up with a slight 2.5 degree cant. Not only does this print much faster with no support but makes perfect prints each time. 4th Update, after some chats in the comments reminding me that some hygrometers can be quite tight to fit in and needed some sanding I reworked the lid. I've added a lid now with cutouts and made it thicker to add a little more strength. The newest batch of hygrometers I tried just popped right in no fuss. I also updated the file names to make it more clear which STL is which.
