AMS-HT Silica dryer spool

!!! V2 can be found here !!!

 

Spool shaped container for silica beads that fits in the AMS-HT.

Printed out of ASA (can use ABS) as it needs to withstand temperatures up to 85 degrees.

 

I have silica beads with size of ~2mm, the gaps are 1.4mm. Make sure to use similar size otherwise they will be falling out and you don't want to mess up the AMS-HT with debris. 

 

After filling the silica beads and closing it, shake the container to sift out all the broken beads before placing it in AMS. 

 

The lid is made so it fits hygrometer, just push it in and twist so it's sitting firmly.

 

!!! Important note !!!
When printing with ASA (not sure about ABS but I assume it could have the same issue), there is bit of shrinking happening when the print is cooling off. Therefore when the print bed reaches 60°C or 140°F, take it off the print bed. 

Due to it's large base and thin walls, when the print starts to shrink while still attached to print bed, the bed starts to warp and it might damage the print.
