3d prints aren't airtight by default. Follow this guide to properly slice and make this print airtight: https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printing-Make-Water-Tight-and-Air-Tight-Contain/
Pro tip: Try it on a small container and test it for air/water tightness before printing this.
You'll need a M8 nut and bolt for the hinge and M15 nut and bolt for locking it shut. No need to buy them, just print them with PETG, see: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:193647
It has plenty of space for the desiccant at the bottom, you can add roller system spool holder or pipe holder style spool holder in this dry box
Print with big nozzle for faster printing, there are no small details in this design.
Print with the hollow side facing up.
Use support, it's needed for the nut lock area.
If you've any ideas, please comment!
If the print doesn't fit your bed, try the "Small Print Volume.zip" file, you'll need to glue the 2 halves together, if you use ABS - try Acetone solvent bonding or if you use PLA - try super glue.
