Desiccant Box

Update 1/22/2021
Added V3 box and Lid to make the snap more secure, but warning it is near impossible to get the V3 apart and will most likely break the snap on the lid when trying to separate. I never open them once filled, but if you plan to open them the original files might be better.
The original is mostly secure, but when handling the box if you squeeze it while it is full the lid could start to come off.

Basic box to put desiccant in. Snaps together.
Printed in PETG, you must have a printer that lets PETG come off the bed easily once cooled. If the PETG sticks hard it will break the slots when you try to pull it off the bed.

PLA should work okay, but I have not tried it.

Please note that although this fits perfectly when I print it, the tolerances might not work for your printer setup.

The slots at the bottom are 1mm
The tolerance for the lid to slide in is 0.5mm which is a lot, but I wanted to make sure it would come back out easily.

It holds about 1/3rd of a quart of desiccant, I filled 3 of these with a 1 quart (2lb) container of desiccant.
