Hexagon basketweave desiccant bottle

I needed a desiccant container and none of the designs I found online met all my needs in terms of shape, dimensions, and ease/speed of printing, so I decided to design my own.

I took inspiration from PsychProd's in-spool desiccant container design, and came up with my own based on a similar basketweave pattern. The main difference was I used straight lines for the wall profile rather than gear teeth, so there's less drooping of the unsupported/bridge areas, so the final print looks just a bit cleaner.

It's 50mm across the flats and 132mm tall with the lid included (it will fit in a 59mm circle).

The walls are one layer thick (0.4mm), so make sure you turn on “detect thin walls” to prevent your slicer from trying to print more than one perimeter shell.

The container itself printed in about 3 hours, and the lid took another 45 minutes. 

I used 0.2mm layer height for most of the bottle, then used adaptive layer height to lower it down to 0.1mm for the threads to ensure a good clean result. The lid was done at 0.15mm for the same reason, and both parts came out beautifully with no need for supports. 

The lid threads have an 0.2mm tolerance all round, and fit first try for me with no scaling needed.
