Description
This desiccant container has a M4 hole to be equipped with a suction cup.
The suction cup is optional, but it helps to keep the container in place.
This are the suction cups(paid Link) i used.
Update: it does also work well with these(paid Link)
I will make some pictures of the dimensions.
The sucker is strong enough to hold the box even if placed on a wall or upside down.
It's a good idea to thread the sucker hole manually after printing.
A full box contains ~160g desiccant(paid Link)
###Refilling:
If the desiccant container needs refilling and the sucker sticks to a wall very well, try to pull the box gently where it's reinforced (at the middle wall).
Otherwise there's a risk of breaking it, if the layers aren't fused well enough... spilling desiccant beads everywhere...
Early versions didn't have a reinforced middle wall, so a credit card would be used to slide under the container to push against the sucker and release its grip...
