I made this tray for storing silica gel and molecular sieve desiccants for dry filament storage. I've included a couple pre-selected sizes, but you can use the FreeCad file to create your own, or you can request new sizes from me!
The mesh pattern is set by your infill, so use zero top and zero bottom layers. A 50% grid infill in PrusaSlicer gives a good mesh size for silica gel. Use enough perimeters to ensure solid walls.
The lid has a 360° lip that leaves no gaps for silica to fall through, and has retention ridges along the long edges so it can snap onto the tray.
The parametric FreeCad design allows for customization. All the main dimensions are in a spreadsheet for easy editing. The design works best for trays between 40 and 200mm long and 25 to 40mm tall.
