This is a vase mode model for a filament spool accessory to hold silica gel beads so that you can keep your filament dryer than a mouthful of Sahara sand while storing or printing your filament.
The design is a less refined recreation of the original model that inspired me to create it. So why did I bother to copy something that was already done better? The short answer was for the simple enjoyment of learning a couple of CAD techniques in Fusion 360 that I had not yet tried, as well as to design my first vase mode print.
I'm sharing this model just in case someone finds it to be useful but do recommend you check out the model that inspired me and watch the video if you'd like to learn how to create something like this yourself.
Slicing:
To slice, enable the “Vase Mode”, “Spiral Vase Mode”, "Spiralize Outer Contour", or whatever your favoured slicer calls it. Your slicer should automatically adjust some non-vase compatible parameters, and with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height I recommend that you should also set:
- 9 bottom layers (for the 1.8mm end plate thickness)
- 0.65mm default wall width
- 0.65mm outer wall width
For different nozzles and layer heights, you will want to tweak the parameters to suit.
Usage:
To use this model more effectively, I recommend filling the container only fraction over halfway. To explain, silica that sits still in a static box will still work, however, the outermost beads will capture the moisture first, and it will take longer for any excess moisture to be attended to by the beads buried in the middle of your container. The barrel design and having less beads provides room for the beads to tumble when filament is being used so that they will all eventually be exposed to the air space inside whichever container you keep your filament.
I tried 4 of these containers in my Bambu AMS and saw the moisture reading go from 4 down to 1 in a matter of minutes, so this is a must have accessory to any spool container, sealed bag, box, or even one of those fancy dry boxes.
