Hot Bed Sponge Box for cleaning and coating

Like me, you have properly been wiping the printer hot bed for cleaning with a paper towel more times than you can remember - filling the paper bin with used towels.

A sponge in a box was the solution for me, maybe for you too. The sponge stays in the lit and the underpart prevents it from drying out to fast.

The box has a size to fit standard kitchen cleaning sponges (the cheap ones with heavy cleaning nylon on one side).
Just cut off the nylon part and slice it to the length you want. This is approximately 12 mm for the small box and 20 mm for the standard box.

I print a lot of PETG and therefore my sponge is wet with windows cleaner. Alternatively dish wash and water. You know best what is needed for your printing...

Don't use solvents that can dissolve the printed box - just a warning.

Update 2019.11.03: Added new version with lower lid, to make it easier to open.
