Round Silica Gel Container

thingiverse

I designed small round silica gel containers to place inside my filament spools before vacuum sealing them or storing them in zip lock bags with the filament roll. I fill these containers with Dry & Dry Blue Indicating Silica Gel, which I purchase from Amazon at https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B019NN1GBG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1. There are two types of silica gel container lids: slip fitting and threaded. If your 3D printer can handle threads, I recommend making the threaded version. I initially created a design that was prone to breaking if dropped, but I've since modified it to be more durable. However, with threaded lids, even this issue is eliminated. I've also included lid files so you can print multiple lids at once for those using slicers that only support one model.
