Dehydrator Desiccant Tray

prusaprinters

<p>I had been using the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2669646">Filament dryer mod for food dehydrator</a> for quite a while now, but recently started to augment my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-500-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B00BD0FN8A">Eva-dry renewable dehumidifier</a> with these <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4508179">In Spool Desiccant Containers</a>.</p><p>This introduced the need to renew the desiccant and I quickly stumbled across <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/miker33">@miker33</a> <a href="">Dessicant Drying Tray</a>. I liked the use of the Slicer settings to create the "screen" effect on the bottom. Unfortunately, this was not the right dimensions for my larger dehumidifier so this remix was born.</p><p>**This version supports all of the same hardware referenced in <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/jbanion">@jbanion</a> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2669646">Filament dryer mod for food dehydrator</a></p><p>I have included the OpenSCAD file and enabled Customizer so that you can adjust to any other set of dimensions. By default the following parameters were used.</p><p>ECHO: "<strong>======&gt; Tray Diameter: 308</strong>"<br>ECHO: "<strong>======&gt; Tray Wall Height: 23</strong>"<br>ECHO: "<strong>======&gt; Hole Diameter: 68</strong>"<br>ECHO: "<strong>======&gt; Wall Width: 2.5</strong>"<br>ECHO: "<strong>======&gt; Floor Depth: 3</strong>"<br>&nbsp;</p><p>All of the code/files are contained within <a href="https://github.com/jshessen/desiccant_tray">GitHub - desiccant_tray</a></p><p>I would recommend either pulling via git:</p><p><code>git clone https://github.com/jshessen/SpringFactory.git</code>&nbsp;</p><p>or downloading the repo as a zip file:</p><p><a href="https://github.com/jshessen/desiccant_tray">https://github.com/jshessen/SpringFactory</a> --&gt; Code --&gt; Download as <a href="https://github.com/jshessen/desiccant_tray/archive/refs/heads/main.zip">Zip</a></p><h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Accessories Summary</h3><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p><p><strong>Printer:</strong> i3 MK3 MMU 2</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong> .2</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong> 15%, 35%</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Inland PETG Translucent Magenta<br><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>Really should use PETG given that the desiccant tends to dry in the 149F/65C range a bit warm for PLA.</p><p>PrintDry<br>Prusa Forums</p><h3>How I Designed This</h3><p><strong>PrusaSlicer Settings</strong></p><p><strong>PrusaSlicer Settings</strong></p><p>Modifier Box:<br>Layers and Perimeters:</p><ul><li>Top=0</li></ul><p>Bottom =0<br>Infill:</p><p>Fill density=35% (this comes out to holes @ ~ 1.6mm)</p><ul><li>Fill pattern=Rectilinear</li></ul>
