This is a remix based on the very nice work of whoppingpochard.   

It's a wedge shaped tray to hold desiccant in your filament storage containers.  Once the desiccant has been used, you can put 6 of these wedges on a food dehydrator tray, dry them out for 5-8 hours, then they're as good as new.

Because of the temperatures I use in my dehydrator, PLA and PETG tend to warp.  I usually print these trays in ABS, but have problems with the original lifting off the plate on one corner.  In this remix, I fixed some of the stress points by putting a chamfer on the bottom edge and including some horizontal slots to reduce the pulling force as the filament cools.   This has the added benefit of increasing the air flow. 😀

The models have a solid bottom.  To get the “screen” look, simply set the top & bottom layers to 0.  Your infill becomes the screen pattern.  I find Rectilinear at 20% works well for the 1.5 mm beads

Material:  ABS, but PETG works too if you keep your dryer heat down.

Top Layers: 0

Bottom Layers: 0

Infill Pattern: Rectilinear

Infill Density:  20%
