Description

A desiccant box with hinged clip closed lid with customizable mesh patterns.

 

I finally bought another AMS and needed some more desiccant boxes, I don't like the ones I used up to now.

My requirements for this design:-

  1. One piece! No loose fiddly lids to open/close.
  2. Easy to install and remove - Smooth outside nothing to hook on, and a loop to grip it to pull it out.
  3. Ultra fine mesh for silica crystals - Grids are customizable for whatever size balls you have;)
  4. Quick print using infill for the mesh, but must not break out of the positions. - The mesh infill is captive between the top and bottom 2 layers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CA glue is required to assemble the case.

 

I use cat litter as it's 1/10 of the price of the beads and you can get it anywhere, the crystals are small and they fall out of most boxes. Mine are 50% rectilinear infill.

 

There are 2 PLA profiles for fine mesh and honeycomb mesh, and 2 ABS profiles for the same config.

 

Note: The PLA profile contains a slightly different model to the ABS, don't print the ABS profile with PLA as it probably won't fit together.

I like that this is more wedge-shaped to fit in the space better. Though, it's a bit harder to get in than I wanted (the rims of the spools are in the way and need to be moved up and back). Overall, great design. I modified mine in the slicer to make a single front panel and it looks great.

suggest adding a "handle" of some kind to ease removal when it is time to swap out charcoal
