Silica Gel Pot by krn

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

A small pot with holes in to contain silica gel so you can put it with your filaments. I've used colour changing silica gel so I know when it needs changing.
I've printed it in PETG (hence the slightly poor finish, which appears to be normal for PETG) as it's the only transparent filament I have, and I wanted to see the colour through it. But there's no need for it to be printed in anything special. The thread is tight on the first attempt but it does fit and will loosen with wear. The cap is also 0.25mm shorter than the thread on the pot, so it will leave a small gap.
Updated version - printed here in ColorFabb PLA, with a raft. I've made the holes larger as the silica gel doesn't fall out, and added a hex lid to allow for easier opening or closing should you have difficulties with the round one.
Updated again - Large version - designed to hold much more silica gel and fit into the middle of a spool.
