5 Gallon Bucket Nesco Dehydrator

prusaprinters

<p>Two models are attached, regular and mini. I <i>believe</i> the mini will fit on the mini printer. To build the adapter, you'll need 4 of the large prints or 6 of the mini. Additionally, you'll need M3 screws, washers, and nuts.&nbsp;</p><p>The fins are 3.2mm thick. I printed with 3 perimeters which causes the fin to print at 100% infill. The entire print takes just under a full spool of filament and about 40 hours at 0.3mm layer height. I strongly suggest printing this in PETG or something higher temperature.&nbsp;</p><p>The top of the dehydrator has fresh air inlets, something I didn't realize until after I drilled holes in the middle of my bucket. As I wasn't aware of the already-present air inlets on the dehydrator, I made the fins really tall to help ensure the air makes it to the bottom of the bucket. I also drilled two ½" holes, one for an outlet and one for a fresh air inlet. I'll likely tape over the holes I've already drilled and drill new holes near the bottom of the bucket, likely two or three ¼" holes.</p><p>Completed, I can dry 5 spools of filament at once.</p><p>Lastly, the print is <i>very</i> snug on the dehydrator. It is tight enough that lifting up the dehydrator also lifts the print. If you are concerned that it might be too tight, increase the x/y by a percent or so. Alternatively, after printing, add a washer between a couple sections of the print if you find it too tight.</p>
