Hygrometer Holder for Sterilite Dry Box

<b>Attention:</b> Version 2 is now available and offers a cleaner solution in many ways. It looks almost identical but uses less plastic and can be installed as a "permanent" setup (i.e., you can replace the battery without cutting the cable tie). New version is here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3402092 This is part of my answer to a simple and low maintenance dry box requirement. I designed this specifically to hold a hygrometer to the lid of a Sterilite 20 Quart Gasket box. I’m using some ultra cheap (but fairly accurate) hygrometers that I bought in a 5-pack from Amazon. After printing, line it up in the corner and mark the hole locations, then drill two holes on the inside of the lid (the container remains sealed) and use 2 cable ties to secure it. You’ll have to cut the cables to replace the battery, of course. The bottom of the box is lined with orange to green indicating silica gel using a Dollar Tree 7x10-ish inch wire shelf (legs trimmed to 2 inches) to keep the filament above and separate from the gel. I'm very new to 3D printing but even so, I suspect this might be useful for others.
