A clone of https://he.aliexpress.com/item/1005006828275284.html
For $5USD you can buy it instead. But I rather like this one.
BOM
- Heater - https://he.aliexpress.com/item/1005006954619853.html
- Plug Socket - https://he.aliexpress.com/item/33041079377.html
- A bit of wire
- A soda can
- tin-snips
- some clear plastic for the window
- Glue (any)
Steps:
- Print
- One of each part
- PETG
- .4mm nozzle
- Solder the heater to the wires.
- Tip, shape the wire into a hook, then hook through the holes
- use lots of solder
- Solder the wires to the plug socket
- order/polarity does not matter
- Cut a soda can open, and make two heat sinks/spreaders from the can
- Peal the sticker off the back of the heater and paste it to the heat-sink (soda can)
- use a screw to punch a hole through the aluminum and screw it into two of the screw posts.
- Glue the Window cup, into the “Top” from the “inside”.
- try to line up the slots, to make it nice.
- Glue the Top and Bottom halves together.
- carefully fill the box through the 12mm socket hole, with the desiccant beads.
- do this over a box or pan to catch the beads that don't go in.
- this is tedious, take your time
- Leave about a 1CM empty at the top
- gently push in the excess wire, into the body
- glue the socket in
- use the Window-Template to cut a clear circle of plastic from any clear plastic.
- put a few beads into the window cup, then glue the window shut.
