Combined Desiccant Cup / Hygrometer Mount for Filament Dry Box

A combined desiccant and hygrometer holder that slips into the pour hole of the lid of a plastic dry goods box. I like this approach as it is neater than using baggies. With this setup, I can get internal humidity down to 10-15%.

Additional Materials (I bought from Amazon - not affiliated with any of them):

• Wildone Cereal Storage Containers (6)
• Tasogen 12 Pack Mini Digital Thermometer/Hygrometer
• Dry & Dry 1 Quart Orange Premium Desiccant Indicating Silica Gel Beads

Features

• Plugs into existing hole in storage container lid. You can pull off the existing hinged plug on container lid for a nice, clean look
• Desiccant can be accessed without taking container lid off
• Desiccant is up where humidity is highest and there is room for a generously sized desiccant cup
• Quarter turn connection between lid and cup ensures correct alignment of hygrometer

Printing

• I used Bambu Lab white PLA with default settings except,
• In Bambu Studio, got good results by printing desiccant cup upright with slim tree support and default (weaker) support settings (Do not use the recommended settings for slim tree support)
• Lid can be printed without support with only minor defects
