PolyDryer Desiccant Dryer Basket

This is a simple tray/basket that fits inside a PolyMaker PolyDryer for drying out desiccant.  It hangs snugly between the built in rollers.  The holes are 2.5mm so the “standard” 3 - 5mm desiccant should work fine.  Note that all the bulk desiccant usually has a couple broken or odd pieces that are smaller that will fall through. Even with the stuff that comes with the PolyDryer itself I think I had 4 or 5 out of the 200+ fall through. 

Recommend not using PLA since on stage 3 it might get warm enough to warp slightly. I used Bambu PETG-CF: 0.4 nozzle, 0.16 layer height, 255*/75*, 4 walls/4 tops/4 bottoms, retraction 3mm/40mm, 10% fan, and printed slow with 30mm walls and 60mm infill.  Ran it through a full 24 hours on stage 3 with no issues with some orange/green desiccant that was fully green and afterward was 90% orange.  With that said you should only need a couple hours since the desiccant is spread out…most I ever do is 3 hours.

There are two models, one that fully goes over the rollers and will require support and the other that has the ends cut off that will kinda float in between that should not require support. I like the “snugness” of the one that needs support but both work, the basket hangs low enough where it won't tip over between the rollers.

I'm thinking of also designing a funnel that would be the same width as this to make it easier to pour back out.  If you print this please post your make and comments and let me know if that would be helpful.  I was going to try to add something directly into the model but it's already a tight fit in there and didn't want to take up any space from the tray itself or make it harder to print.
