Tasogen Hygrometer Insert for Praki 4L Container Lid - Slimfit & Removable

I wanted an insert for the Praki containers (used for filament storage) that consumed less material, didn't bind the hydrometer so much, and was easier to remove.

This one takes a bit less than half the filament and also has a notch in back to assist with removal at different angles.

Also, the hydrometer is easier to get in and out.

The design has a few bumps on the exterior - points of a hexagon that are filleted over.  The intent was to allow the object to friction fit tight enough to handle a direct smack on the lid from above.  These managed, but if it's not strong enough for you, just cut the fillet down a little more.

Should be fine to print…

• Without supports
• 3 walls
  • 2 walls is fine, but be sure to check the seams - they tend to land at the corners and can break easy
• 10% infill
• 0.2-.28 mm layer height (what I tested on a .4mm nozzle)

Printed on a Bambu A1 Mini.

In theory, the F3D file's parameters can be tweaked for different square-shaped hydrometers, but I have only tested the Tasogen ones.

• ⅓ height
• notch for cleaner removal with a tool or fingernail
• cleaner fit of the hydrometer
• saves just over half the filament with described printing methods
