Silica Gel Canister (30mm for filament reels)

thingiverse

Yet another silica gel pellet container, designed to fit perfectly inside filament spools and boxes with optimal size.\nI discovered that other containers were too large to fit snugly within the center of some filament spools, prompting me to create this one that should accommodate nearly all spool sizes.\nAfter measuring about 8 different spools, I found one had a central hole measuring only 31mm in diameter, so I crafted this canister to be precisely 30mm wide to fit comfortably inside these spools.\nSome spools have a wider outer diameter and are correspondingly narrower, which is taken into account by the design of this canister's height.\nThis container will also easily slide onto the outer edge of filament in the corner section of storage boxes.\nIt holds up to 18 grams of silica gel, more than enough for a 1KG reel.\nUse press-zip poly bags (approximately 35CM x 35CM / 12/13" square) and purchase a 500 gram tub of silica gel with a color indicator that signals when it needs restoration in an oven (remove from canister to do this).\nSilica gel and press-zip poly bags are widely available for purchase from eBay sellers.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter: \n Prusa i3 Mk2\n \n Rafts: \n Irrelevant\n \n Supports: \n None\n \n Resolution: \n 0.2mm\n \n Infill: \n 10% Density
