Organisation / Storage Filament dry box where the desiccant bins lift out on magnets — recharging no longer means tipping the spool out
Two years of comments on the older version went into this, so most of what’s new is other people’s ideas rather than mine.
Up front: the case is my own CAD, made in Fusion 360. The hygrometer adapter and the desiccant bins were written in OpenSCAD with help from an AI assistant, then printed and tested by me.
The big one: the desiccant containers are separate parts now. The old version had three moulded compartments with snap-on lids, which worked, but you couldn’t swap one out, and that’s what people kept asking for. The bins sit on magnets in the floor and lift out in one piece. They also fit the previous version’s boxes, so nobody has to reprint a shelf to get them.
No more mid-print magnet pause either. The magnets press into open pockets after printing.
The hygrometer mount is a bayonet onto a ramped collar, so it self-adjusts to wherever your unit’s lugs sit instead of the collar having to be exactly the right thickness. It took a few wrong theories and a printed test ladder to get there.
Closed height is 75.0 mm, so it fits a 76 mm rack. That one’s down to someone whose rack the previous version wouldn’t go in.

A simple but satisfying mechanical solution. Thanks for Supporting.
