Funnel for AMS Hydra Desiccant Boxes

(Project updated with improved ease of use version, v2, of funnel on 08/18/2024)
(Project updated with addition model on 05/28/2024)

Humbeam's Hydra Pro (https://www.printables.com/model/680027-hydra-pro-advanced-bambu-lab-ams) is a great improvement to the already fairly solid AMS.

DarthXRinsler's Desiccant Boxes were designed specifically the AMS with Hydra Pro and make for a very nice way to help keep it dry under the lid of a Hydra Pro modified AMS.

If you have DarthXRinsler's desiccant boxes (https://www.printables.com/model/706509-bambulab-ams-hydra-pro-silicadesiccant-dry-boxes) then this funnel will likely come in handy.
On the bottom is a slight recess into which one slips the narrow top of the desiccant box.
Pour desiccant beads into the wide mouth of the funnel to fill the desiccant box.
And there's small pour spout to help guide the flow of saturated desiccant when emptying.

Basic, simple, works well.

Print funnel mouth down.
Consider a small brim if you have adhesion issues.
No supports needed.
0.20 works well
PLA, PETG, whatever.
 

Added on 05/28/2024
Added a simple Fill Cup (printable in vase mode) which is pre-measured for the amount of desiccant to fill, but not overfill the desiccant boxes.

The cup has two indented rings, one for each of the two desiccant boxes. 
(fill to bottom of the indented ring)
Lower ring: will fill the desiccant box with hygrometer cutout.
Upper ring: will fill the desiccant box without the hygrometer cutout.

I have two models of the cup. 
Single color model 

• Vase mode
• Arachne
• 2 bottom layers
• 0.20 layer height
• …design is tuned for this configuration
   

Two color model 
An example is my picture of the black cup with red indented rings.
Fill-Cup_for_AMS_Hydra_Desiccant-Dry-Boxes-3color-bambu-only.gcode.3mf is bambu-specific.

To print multiple colors on a non-bambu printer use either the stl or 3mf then:

• Vase mode is NOT recommended for this model
• Arachne
• 2 bottom layers
• 1 wall/perimeter
• add color or filament changes as desired.
   

The funnel is a from scratch remix of SThane's Funnel for AMS Dryer Pod, which I used until I recently upgraded my AMS with Hydra Pro to better deal with a wider range of spool dimensions.
The Fill Cup is not a remix.

Updated funnel on 08/18/2024
Added v2 of the funnel which improves ease of use.
Funnel_for_AMS_Hydra_Desiccant-Dry-Boxes_v2.3mf
Funnel_for_AMS_Hydra_Desiccant-Dry-Boxes_v2.sql

V2 of the funnel provides a firmer grip on the desiccant holder: 
* inlet for desiccant holder has been extended to encompass more of the holder.
* a groove has been added to the inlet allowing the the holder to lightly snap into place once fully inserted into the funnel.
(see attached image file: v2_Funnel_for_AMS_Hydra_Desiccant-Dry-Boxes_from-below.png)  

The result is the funnel will -at least typically- not need to be held in place on the desiccant holder during filling.
