Hộp Desiccant cho Prusa Core ONE

I designed this container for use in the closed right-hand bay of the printer.

Having a sealed door gives me the convenience of not having to immediately put away moisture-loving filaments after printing.

And let's be honest – small containers pushed into the corners don't help. It's just an illusion.

This large container, 80% full, needs at least a day for the humidity to drop by about 15-20%.

The housing has a removable side on one side – you can simply push it in, or add a few drops of glue to make sure. On the other side, there's a round TPU plug that allows you to fill/empty it.

The magnets are standard 10x3 round magnets.

The diagonal notches next to the magnet recesses make it easier to retrieve them with some sharp tool if you change your mind.

I've tried other solutions with sliding sides before, but they didn't work. Those damn moisture-absorbing peas were everywhere. One additional note - there are various materials available; the cheapest ones are a jumble of beads with very different diameters. These can escape through gaps. Furthermore, the container contains a lot of broken beads and debris, which you pay extra for.

I personally bought beads with a larger diameter - 3..5mm.

You can print this container from PETG, but I personally use a food dehydrator with a mesh tray. Drying the food poured onto it takes at least twice as long as with the container.

Furthermore, a dehydrator is much cheaper and more versatile.

And one last thing - do you need that many magnets?
You can use fewer, but remember that a nearly full container weighs about 500 grams/1.1 lb.

Happy printing.
