This is the first version of my silica drybox for the Prusa enclosure. It is designed to hold the silica desiccant small and medium sized bags. I have not tested it with the silica gel balls. If you want a version of this that can hold the individual balls, let me know!!
There are three parts to this model, the cap, endpiece, and main part. The tolerances are very tight so the fitments should snap together with some force. If the cap does not fit, then scale it down by 1 or 2%.
Materials needed:
Two 6x2mm magnets (optional but recommended)
One M3n nut
One M3x8mm hex screw (many lengths will work, just need M3)
Print Instructions
Print the main piece with painted supports as shown in the image below.
The larger hole in the middle of the main frame is designed to allow you to insert the M3n into the hexagonal insert inside the main frame. The method I used to push it in was to line the nut over the hexagon indent, and while pressing down on the nut from the inside with your finger screw in a longer m3 bolt and anchor the nut in by fully screwing the bolt in. Then simply remove the bolt and the nut should sit firmly in place.
Insert one magnet into the endcap and one into the main frame, be mindful of polarity. The fitment should be very tight so no glue is needed.
Insert the top cap to cover the hole, this fitment is also very tight, if it does not fit simply scale it down
Finally insert the assembled drybox into the enclosure:
Finally, insert the M3x8mm bolt into the drybox from the outside of the enclosure. Keep in mind that many of these can be inserted into the enclosure.
