Description

EDIT: Updated to V2!
I've made some improvements since I initially posted this thing. New in v2:
-Made slots slightly smaller to reduce the chance of broken beads falling out
-Fixed slot spacing to be the same on every face
-Added a smaller version

Original Summary
I went looking for a plain, rectangular desiccant box but the first one I printed was too small and the second required too much sanding. So I gave up and designed my own! It has a snap-on lid and requires no sanding.

The large size absorbs moisture quickly and allows me to go longer between bake-drying my desiccant. The smaller size is better suited to smaller enclosures and vacuum bags.

If you print with ABS you can bake-dry the desiccant in the box. I dry mine at 220°F (104°C) for several hours with no problem. I've tried PLA and it tends to sag a little bit at this temp. But if you dial back the temperature and bake for longer you'll probably be ok. Another option for PLA is to dump the beads into a pie tin to bake, then let them cool completely before putting them back in the box.
