Desiccant Box for Prusa Enclosure Drybox

The Drybox Spoolholder for Original Prusa Enclosure has a designated area for the user to place silica gel bead bags. I prefer to use loose beads within perforated containers, so I designed on that fits perfectly inside this specific drybox. 

The desiccant box contains two parts:

• The box body.
• The lid.

They assemble very simply by merely sliding on the lid into the slots that's on the box body. The lid stays put with friction. It is a tight fit to ensure that it won't accidentally come loose. 

The lid has holes allowing air and moisture to reach the silica gel beads. The size of the lid's holes comfortably holds bead sizes of >2 mm in diameter. 

The box fits roughly 60 g of silica gel beads.

The box has a handle on its topside to ease removal of the desiccant box from the drybox. 

I printed this with PETG, mainly to benefit from the higher working temperature (compared to PLA). The higher working temperature is useful for placing the entire desiccant box into a dryer to dry out the silica gel beads (without having to empty the beads from the box). Even more higher-temperature-resistant materials would do even better than PETG in this regard.
