Description
Created a set of ‘fins’ and baseplate with clamps to hold desiccant at the bottom of cereal box dryboxes. The idea is to have it lifted up to get close to the spool with separation between them to allow for better airflow.
Updates
Update May 14, 2025
Tuned lid to fit and latch better.
Tuned grips to print and fit better.
Update April 19, 2026
Created a set of spacer adapters to use these fins in 19qt storage boxes.
Printing
Print pieces in their provided orientation with 0.28mm layers. Each fin needs a body and a lid (the thinner ‘16mm’, uses the same lid). For assembly the 2-up baseplate allows for two fins side-by-side on each end and the 3-up baseplate holds 3 on each side. So for each 2-up baseplate you will need four grips and for each 3-up baseplate you will need six grips.
If you want to test your settings on the hinges first, just use your slicer to print two pieces trimmed to be just 2 tabs of a hinge.
Assembly
Print Cleanup
If your printer settings and/or filament are not dialed in to allow for a section of 1.75mm filament to go through easy they can be cleaned up with a pin vise and a 1.75mm or 1.8mm bit. (do not use a powered drill as the heat and/or vibration generated can cause failures)
Connecting Hinge
To assemble the fin, fit the lid and body together at their hinge (probably with it open somewhat).
Then slide a length of filament in at least through the first few sections of the hinge.
Trim off the exposed remainder as close to flush as possible.
Repeat the same on the other side.
The lid should now open at least 90° for easy filling. When rotated closed the clips should ease down into the slots and the top should fit flush against the top of the body.
Usage
When filling be careful not to overfill, as this will prevent the lid from sitting flush and allow desiccant to spill out.
The baseplate can either be set down in the bottom of a cereal box with a spool on top, or hooked in as the bottom piece with version 1.2 or later of my modular cereal box drybox.
