Big Vase mode Silica / dessicant container (for car)

prusaprinters

<p>I liked animatorgeeks take on the vase mode dessicant container. I also wanted to try and dry the air inside my car with silica gel, to avoid fogged up windows when driving in the cold mornings.</p><p>I therefore modeled this thing from scratch in much larger size, and with a different thread on the top. This version uses a round bottle thread which is much more suitable for 3D-printing in my opinion.</p><p>The diameter is 75mm, height is 90mm. I guess it fits around 250gr of silica (didn´t measure it).</p><p>I printed them with a 0,6mm nozzle at 0,8mm layer width, most parts except maybe the thread can be printed at 0,4mm layer height. This way both parts together (see .3mf-file for sequential printing example) take 2h15min and around 33gr of filament. Works well in PETG.</p><p>Since it has to dry a whole car I used two of these containers, up until now they seem to work well. I will probably have to dry the dessicant every few weeks.</p>
