Description

Plug the holes in the PrintDry system to keep warm air from escaping from spots you don't want.

There are several other PrintDry plugs available here which are pretty much two cylinders. While they work, I had a couple issues with them, so I made my own.

My improvements:

  • The plug portion is tapered, so no matter the calibration of your printer, this should still work. Other versions are cylindrical so the fit is consistent all the way through.
  • The head of the plug is a larger diameter and has a little grip so if the plug is pressed in tight, it's easier to grab it and give it a twist to pull it out.

It's still not a complicated design, but I think it's still just a little bit nicer to use.

Print instructions

Print it pretty much however you want. I printed at a coarse layer height with default settings. Only suggestion is don't use PLA because of the temps that can be involved, but it might still be okay. My early prints were in PLA and we'll see how that holds up.
