Desiccant container with thermometer hygrometer

Introduction

In the first use of the AMS of bamboo, I found that the humidity level was very high, so I put all the bags of silica I had inside it and tried to solve the problem. After having dried all my material in an oven at 60ºC, yes, I know it is dangerous, but the truth is that it worked—I put it back on the AMS.

The silica bags remained on the AMS, giving a horrible look to a piece designed with so much care in mind... 

Eventually, the extra desiccant will no longer be needed. But in the meantime, the best place will be inside the spools. In this case it can accompany the spool when I put it outside the AMS, when I no longer need it.

 

Some time ago, I made a container for desiccant storage; this one:

Now, after many requests, I bring to you the same design you like, with the nice thread and logo, but now with a mini thermometer/digital hygrometer embedded in the lid.

Assembly instructions

In this case you may need to buy this very cheap and strangely reliable:

•  thermometer/digital hygrometer.

You can find it everywhere on the internet; I've bought it in the link above.

Version with Isolation of the hygrometer

If you are willing to sacrifice a little of the space on the desiccant volume, then there is a new version for you. This one is unique in a way, since the hygrometer compartment is physically separated from the desiccant; the air admission is taken from the top.

Thanks to Takitus for bringing this issue to my attention and “forcing” me to find a solution to this conundrum, as he calls it. His help was inestimable in controlling and comparing results. Kudos to him.

 

Note:
The structures in green are supports; you should remove them.

You can find this variation by following these instructions:

• Sometimes I update or add more print profiles; they can be found under the section “Download STL/CAD Files.”

Change log

• Version added without the Bambu Lab logo for those with other machines.
