500g(1lb) Silica Gel Desiccant Box

500g(1lb) Silica Gel Desiccant Box

(Updated October 2019 with 1mm thicker sides to make it stronger and easier to print)

Box to contain 500g of colour indicating silica gel for your filament dry box.
The dimensions without feet are 155mm x 127mm x 40mm.
The clip on feet secure the lid and enable airflow all around the box.

Note: The box and lid should be printed with support for the indents where the feet clip on.

I printed this in ABS so that I could put it in the oven at 110c to dry the silica. Unfortunately the heat warped the box so I recommend that you decant the silica into another container before drying.
