I wanted a desiccant holder that would fit inside a filament spool. I found a lot of models that used holes or vertical slots to allow air to pass through. I don't like printing posts as it takes longer to start and stop at for each one. I drew this to print as a continuous line while still creating small gaps in the side walls. I also make the mesh at the ends alternating lines instead of holes so it prints cleaner and faster. The mesh lines are 0.1mm thick so it's best to match this setting for your Layer Height so each layer prints correctly.
Print mesh to the build plate. No supports necessary.
I had previously created a model very similar to this, that is great for plastic filament spools that have a small center bore that becomes wider on one side. It did not work as well with cardboard spools. The lid stuck out one side making it thicker than the storage box would easily accommodate.
This newer version has the “cap” threading into the body with a very thin lip to catch on the cardboard spool. Making storage much easier.
Update Oct 2024: I added an STL (V4) of a lid with a wider brim. I have spools with various sized center holes and the wider brim keeps the desiccant cylinder from falling though the opening.
