Silica Gel Packet hanger for storage bin

I use reusable silica gel packets to keep my filament dry. They typically end up underneath all of the spools and boxes in my bin which I'm sure reduces their effectiveness. It also makes them a pain to fish out when they are due to be dried out again. I came up with a holder to hang them off of the side of my storage bin. My first design I found hard to print clean, and was a rough print for the attempted top bridging (which was made worse by the hexagon holes), so I redesigned using much smaller holes and one angled side. Part of my goal for this print was to try and minimize material used so my goal was a print that had thinner walls and no need for supports. Avoiding perpendicular bridging lead me to the one angled wall. This way it can print on its side. I ran a tray of these on the MK3S at work, but forgot them there. I'll post pics once I have them installed. My biggest concern is that, even with all of the holes, isolating these on the top edges of the crate may reduce their effectiveness instead of improve them. I guess time will tell.
