I was looking for a sturdier desiccant container for my P1P and put this together to practice modeling.
There are two versions - the Standard model and the P1P specific model. The Standard model is great, nice and sturdy, and I'm printing several of them for my filament storage boxes.
(Pictured is the Standard model before I updated it to improve the fit, increased the tolerances on the lid, and increased the chamfer on the body.)
P1P specific model
I wanted this to fit inside the P1P using the existing notches for the aux fan on the bottom right side, so I measured it out and created a inset piece where the notch is. I am still measuring and perfecting this fit, so it's a work-in-progress. (Pictures coming soon.)
Features
- The slots are 2mm wide in the sides and lid of the box - I used these desiccant beads that change color
- The lid features a snap-together design with chamfered cutouts in the sides of the body of the box so you can pry the lid off
- 3mm x 3mm thick bars on the side and top combined with the solid base provide increased durability
Printing
- No supports needed (for either version)
- Can be printed in PLA or PETG easily
- Designed for .2mm layer height
- 15% infill recommended, but you can do 100% if you want it extra sturdy/heavy
Notes
I went through a few iterations of the lid before landing on this design and it seems to work for me, but if you experience any issues with tolerances please leave a comment and I can easily make adjustments.
Happy printing!
