These drying trays use a weaved design I have first seen in this model by Kie. This allows for very fast printing of meshed sidewalls with nearly zero retractions. A very elegant design that I copied for this model. I designed it for 0.6mm nozzles, but it should print fine with 0.4mm as well (3 lines instead of 2).

I recommend 20% honeycomb with 0 top and bottom layers to get a nice mesh bottom with holes small enough the silica beads will not fall through.

Up to 6 of these trays can be stacked inside a SpacePi. Drying a total of 2kg of silica beads took me three runs of six trays each, and one tray contains roughly the amount of beads I usually use per spool container (hence the rather small size of the trays).
