Boxing glove dryer - 4 at once

Dryer for drying 4 boxing gloves at one time. The design is a 120mm blower fan, into a plenum box, into glove extensions. This means the air coming out of the glove extensions will be pressurised and dry the glove better. It's designed without any heating element, so u dont risk damaging the gloves. After printing you'll need to either bolt it together using the holes, or if you're lazy like me just put hot glue everywhere where a screw would be. For the fan on the side, i also hot glued around the fan output to seal it shut. the extensions need a 250mm height printer to print.

I made this with chatgpt and claude code, i've printed and checked everything, now using it almost daily, works well. If u wanna modify it with your own LLM just download the .zip file and work from that.

Printing:

I printed in PETG with 15% adaptive cubic infill. Use at least three walls to keep the twist locks strong and also to try and seal the air pressure in. This is how much filament i used:

• 4 × extensions, with supports — 457.30 g

• lid — 88.39 g

• base, with supports — 210.50 g

• 2 × port caps, with supports — 25.07 g

• 4 × legs — 9.24 g

• fan tray — 59.96 g

TOTAL - 850.46 g if u print everything for 4 gloves - or 621.81 g for only 2 gloves

Designed for a standard "12032" blower fan. i used this fan: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008518551439.html (120mm 5v usb dual ball). Looks like u could probably use this too: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003168863416.html. Whatever you use, the one i got was rated for 31.8CFM and it works for 4 gloves at a time.

for me to make this i spent (AUD):

• 1kg petg$19.95

• the fan$23.25

• hot glue$2.00

• electricity to print$2.00

TOTAL: $47.20

Alternatives:

You can buy a boxing glove dryer/deodoriser for about $92 AUD (The Glove Purifier V2), or a different 4x glove one for like $170. Up to u if that's better value. You could also get a "shoe dryer" for like $25 from ebay/aliexpress. They do work but they used heated air, which i think isn't good for the gloves. Also i had 2 of them break on me.

Additionally you can also get one of those cheap power countdown timer things from ebay, so u can set to go for like 1hr or 2hr:
