Snap-close dessicant wedges

thingiverse

I get my silica gel for my [dry boxes](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4684881) by the gallon [on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Dry-Indicating-Desiccant-Industry-Standard/dp/B07QFC7J6B/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=dry+and+dry+silica+gel+1+gallon&qid=1607904180&sr=8-12), and wanted a convenient way to keep and recharge it. So I designed these little desiccant wedge trays to fit in my dehydrator, and just toss them as-is into my filament dry boxes. They have snap-fit lids to keep the silica in. To close, I put the narrow end in first, then bend the lid to get the outside corners in, then snap the remaining edges. Once I was happy with the design, I used an old tip on my soldering iron to melt a few spots along the seams to keep them securely closed. It's a good idea to print these in a high temperature-resistant plastic like PETG or ABS. I used clear PETG so I could easily see the indicator color!
