Desiccant containers for PrintDry

Stackable containers to hold Desiccant in a PrintDry filament drier, in a variety of shapes and sizes. I started off with the thin round ones around the outside - they fit between the outside of a spool and the walls of the PrintDry, so you can have two spools plus a bunch of desiccant all in there at once. Then I figured I may as well make a center piece as well, for those times where I don't need two spools in there and want to spread the desiccant over a larger area to dry faster. The main "Center" is quite large and reaches almost out to the surrounding thin containers, while the "Center-198mm" will fit on a 200x200 print bed.

Please read the print-settings notes below if you want a box with a mesh bottom.

The 89-Degree and 119-Degree are designed to fit 4 or 3 of them around a spool with a minimal (1-degree) gap. The 60-Degree model I didn't leave a tolerance gap - if you want to go all the way around its easier to use bigger ones.

If you would like to see any of these in other sizes, please let me know in the comments.

Notes:

All of the walls and floors are exactly 2mm thick - using a 0.5mm extrusion width will give you nice clean solid walls with 2 perimeters. The part is designed solid, with the intention of using slicer tricks to make the bottom as open or closed as each user would like, and in any pattern that you like.

To print, ensure your slicer is set to 0 top and bottom layers, which will result in the bottom of the container just being a mesh of infill. I found rectilinear at 30% gave me a tight enough mesh to hold the desiccant I have while still keeping it open enough for lots of airflow. But feel free to change it up depending on how fine/course the desiccant you have is. If you set it to 4 perimeters and 0.5mm extrusion width, the walls of the bottom will end up the same thickness as the walls above. As long as you have enough perimeters to keep the walls solid, the 0 top/bottom layers won't harm them.
