Description
I liked the glove insert of the original but we don't have a glove dryer as such. I therefore created a new base to take an 80mm PC fan so we can pump warm air through from our Aga. This takes the drying time for my wife's scuba gloves from "still wet after a week" to "dry in 24 hours".
It should work just as well without the Aga but a warm radiator would help. The fan can be run from a cheap 12V "wall wart" as used for CCTV or an equally cheap USB to 12V module driven from a USB battery bank. Both are widely available from the usual online retailers.
It's held together with 4x M4x30mm and 4xM4x13mm but slightly longer or shorter will be OK. Long bolts go down through the top and short ones up through the stand. Nuts are fitted on the inner faces of the fan using pliers to hold them.
Note that I had a couple of goes at the legs and some pictures show the original thin ones but the stl is for a nice meaty version.
OpenSCAD provided and there's a link in there to the fillet library that's required.
Note the glove inserts can go on two different ways, one with vent open and one with it closed, so you can dry 1 to 4 gloves without losing hot air.
Update 2019-03-23: Added Stand120mm.stl and Top120mm.stl but these haven't yet been tested.
