Silica Gel Canister (30mm for filament reels)

prusaprinters

<p>A container for silica gel pellets, but I made this an optimum size to fit inside filament spools and boxes.</p><p>I found some other containers too big to fit inside the centre of some of my filament spools, so I made this one that should fit nearly all spools.</p><p>I measured about 8 different spools and found one had a centre hole of only 31mm. So this canister is 30mm in diameter to fit inside these spools. Also, some spools have a wider outer diameter and are therefore narrower. The height of this canister take is into consideration.</p><p>This canister will also fit easily on the outer edge of the filament in the corner section of the storage box.</p><p>It holds up to 18 grams of silica gel, which is more than sufficient for a 1KG reel.</p><p>Use press-zip poly bags (about 35CM x 35CM / 12/13" sq) and buy a 500 gram tub of silica gel with the colour indicator that shows when it needs restoring in an oven (remove from canister to do this)</p><p>Silica gel and press-zip poly bags are both widely available from ebay sellers.</p>
