Desiccant Riser for Iris 47 Qt Storage Bin

prusaprinters

I received a pair of Iris 47 Qt storage bins to store my filament.  I like them--each one holds 10 standard kilogram spools easily in an airtight latching bin.  But I didn't have a great solution for storing lots of desiccant in the bin to help keep things dry.  Simply dumping in desiccant beads meant occasionally pulling some beads out with the spool, which would fall to the floor and do its best LEGO impersonation.This riser allows you to dump in bulk desiccant beads, maybe shake a little to level it out, and load your filament in quickly.  I have a two-pound bag in one, and there's easily room for more.Some notes:These risers are sized to be printed on any 255mm-scale printer like the Bambu P1/X1 or Prusa i3 family.  Mini printers need not apply.You'll need to print four of them.  Print it face-down, no supports required.They're a little loose in the bottom of the bin.  There are nubs and slots if you want to tie them together.Filament in the pictures is Bambu PLA Basic, printed at .28mm layer height, 0.4mm nozzle on a Bambu P1P.  There's enough meat to the model (and the spools are big enough) that I think any reasonable filament and print setting will be fine.
