This design is a container for a 250g bag of dehumidifier (Calcium Chloride or similar). I've made the model for quick printing, and it takes approximately 1 hour.
Material Recommendations: tested with PLA and PTEG, both are fine. Remember it has to hold liquid.
Printing Instructions:
- I slice it as a “pseudo-vase” print
- Layer height: 0.3 mm
- Walls: 2 loops
- Infill: 0
- Top Layer: 0
- Supports: not needed
- Bottom Layers: 4 (for improved chances of waterproofness)
Since Calcium Chloride will release liquid over time as it absorbs moisture, it's important to ensure the container is waterproof. I recommend testing the print for waterproofness before use. (My result with these settings is 5 out of 7)
Customization: The source OpenSCAD file is attached, allowing for easy modifications to suit different volumes as per your needs. Or you can just scale it in the slicer.
UPD:
- after a couple of months with my humidity, I decided to make a higher version (55mm). I had to empty the original ones (35mm) every second day.
- surprisingly, PLA boxes perform better than PETG ones. I had to replace a few PETG boxes after a few weeks, but the PLA ones stayed watertight.
