Large Desiccant Tray W/ Secure Lid for Dry Storage

IMPORTANT: I print everything much slower than most people do for the longevity of the machine, reducing wear & tear and increasing quality.  For this model I have found it convenient to allow the first 2 layers to print at the settings I have set and then up the speed to “ludicrous."  When printing with my settings this mode will actually be closer to the speed of the normal Bambu Labs “Standard” settings.  You can either choose greater quality and longer print time or slightly reduced quality (minimal imo for this model) for a much quicker print time.  I could automate it in the slicer but it's fine as-is.  Setting to “ludicrous” when using my settings on this model will reduce overall print time from 27.4 hours to 9.3 hours on the PETG version and on the PLA model it will reduce from 23.4 hours down to 7.95 hours.

I made this for keeping my filament storage (wine cooler lol) dry so that I don't have to vacuum seal the filament when I store it in there.  This is passive drying not active unless you have air circulation within your chamber, I do not but it still works great!  There is an indentation on the lid and a corresponding nub on the container for latching purposes.  If you pull hard enough it will come out but you risk snapping the tab for pulling.  I find it best to manipulate/push the lid down at the center and slide it on/off or bend the middle of the wall where the nub is located in toward the center of the tray and slide the lid over and then release.  It is quite secure and holds a good pound or two of desiccant, I personally use activated alumina.

I'll release a gif of how I open/close it when I get a moment.  The indentations on the tab-side of the lid are for fingers if you prefer pulling that way, probably for those with smaller fingers lol.  Hope someone finds a use for this :) 

The lid vs. base have separate print settings that should be visible in the slicer as well as in bambu handy.  If printing the lid in PETG choose PETG Lid print settings, if printing the base in PLA choose PLA Base print settings etc.  I did slightly different line widths to get the finish I was hoping for, it is likely not an absolute necessity but will make the fit of the 'latch' a little nicer and the look as well.
