<p>Want to modify a design and don't know how. We can help and often work for free, email us to ask. See the contact detail on our page.<br/> For more of my designs check out my website: <a href="https://3domcontact.wixsite.com/3dom">https://3domcontact.wixsite.com/3dom</a></p> <p>This is the second version of this box. I changed this version to open at the top to allow it to be filled more than 50%.</p> <p>This is the description from the first version:<br/> This is a container designed to hold 3-5 mm desiccant beads.</p> <p>This is modeled after a dehumidifier that I bought that was supposed to regenerate in six to twelve hours when plugged into power. I quickly found that it wasn't properly regenerating in a week. So I designed my own box to hold the same amount of beads and planned to regenerate them in the oven.</p> <p>This version is designed to open along the long axis the same as the purchased part, when I disassembled it.</p> <p>I eventually realized that this limited the amount of beads it could hold by half (of course), so I redesigned it in my next version.</p> <p>If you want to see my version 3 see here - <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3930740">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3930740</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Containers Summary</h3> <p>Want to modify a design and don't know how.

I prefer to use tie wire that I have on hand. The hinge simply needs to be aligned and a wire or similar material threaded through.<br/> The hole is 2mm</p>
