100% upcycling possible!
Silica gel boxes in three different sizes!
Finally, there is a short tutorial on how to recycle the silica gel!
I have taken the idea from Campy and made a few adjustments! Over the last few months I have saved all the silica gel bags and put them in my filament box. After about a year, the hydrometer has risen to about 50%.
I took this as an opportunity to recycle the Silica Gel and put it into nice boxes! First I started with the model from Campy. However, I quickly realized that I need larger boxes. In the conventional small box fit about 25g silica. I have expanded this to 50g and 100g. In addition, I have optimized the groove for the cover a little. So it can be printed better. It is important to mention that the boxes should only be stored resting and in the right position. In itself, it should be clear, but it can still happen that by abruppte blows the cover can jump off!
In addition, I can only recommend the PEI plate! It looks so cool and holds with PLA even with larger prints without problems! Enclosed you will find the appropriate link!

Instructions for reactivating silica gel:
1. remove flammable or melting materials from silica (e.g. paper or PLA).
2. place silica in a container, e.g. glass dish or baking tray
3. dry silica gel in oven at 100C for one hour per centimeter (height).
4. let the oven cool down with the door tilted
5. transfer silica into printed container
