Cylindrical Desiccant Container

thingiverse

I've always been dissatisfied with desiccant container designs because they fail to leverage the bridging ability of FDM Printers. A straightforward desiccant container design features numerous fine slits for air circulation, boasting over 4000 slits in total. Each slit measures three times the layer height in terms of depth, coming in at approximately 1.8 mm, and has an approximate width of 8mm. Print time on my i3 mk3 averaged around 5-6 hours. This design is intended for printing with the Prusa i3 (Mk3) 0.20 mm Profile and slicing with Slic3r, though other slicers and profiles may also work well, I might clean up the scad file and create optimized versions for different slicing profiles if there's enough interest. The lid fits snugly and remains secure even when the container is turned upside down; it can be inserted more easily by rotating it halfway and then turning it back so that all notches align with the slits.
