Works super well on my Australian Anko dehydrator. As is already written in the description, print with a large brim or else you'll have a ton of failures.

Printed in PETG for extra heat resistance, love the print. If I had white or transparent it would look even better but only had black on hand. Uses around $6AUD of filament so this is a no-brainer. Thanks for the files!

Unless you have super tall spools I would recommend one of the remixes which is slightly shorter, it saves around 80g of material and still has around 1cm of clearance for 70mm (standard) spools. This means there is less wasted space and filament.

I ended up printing a set of these as well as the shorter ones just incase :)

EDIT: Thanks for the test pieces! For anyone who plans on printing them, remember on the smaller tests there is less friction, so if you have a tight-fit on the tests, try the 0.3mm gap increase. My test pieces basically had no friction at all, and then the actual model was a perfect friction fit. (edited)

It's great, now I can dry more filament. Thank you very much.

Really nice design, works very good, dryed some petg and notices right away that stringing is gone. Thanks!

Amazon Basics translucent PLA, the test pieces helped tremendously!

Thank you! I used a scraper and wd40 to aid the connection between the parts. Fits this Kmart Australia dehydrator perfectly.

I got a Salton VitaPro DH1460 and it works... when flipped over. I followed @Sushei recommendation for single spool height by scaling in slicer at 70mm. However scaling in my CAD mod of the extension with a hygrometer hole wasn't identical - still works though.
I like the locking mechanism design and excellent initiative to include test pieces.
Thanks for the models!

Works and fits great. Printed in PETG. Thank you.

Modded a few parts...cut the outer area of one original tray and use it as a turntable, so I can print directly from the dryer (PTFE exit is work in progress), added an inner chamber as well that directs the heat directly from the heater to 2 spools stored in the middle. Thx a lot for the base prints! (edited)

@Ghosu_1633984 Nice! Would be cool if you could post a remix.

@Ghosu_1633984 bonjour est-ce vous avez le ficher? je trouve ça très pratique mais je trouve nulle part.

Thank you very much, @Haprog!
Fits perfectly on my dehydrator.
It is branded differently (called "Ambiano") and was sold at Aldi. Maybe you can add this to the description to make it findable for others.
Also thanks for you help to adjust horizontal expansion 🙂
