A hanging basket used to refresh desiccant packets in the Filament Dryer 2.0, while it is drying filament. The basket is designed to add to the functionality and complement the dryer. It mount between the 2 filament spools. The dryer solved many of the issues I had printing with PETG and TPU filament and it helps reduce stringing with my old PLA filament. Plus it now rejuvenate my old desiccant packets and dry other small items.
The parts can be easily 3D printed, without any support, on a modern inexpensive 3D Printer, with a variety of heat tolerant materials such as PETG, ASA and ABS and many other types of filament that can withstand higher temperatures.
PLA should not be used for this application, because the parts will be exposed to high temperature, exceeding ~55 C (~ 130 F).
Recommended print settings with a .4 mm nozzle
Basket:
- Layer Hight: 200uM (.20 mm)
- 3 perimeters or shells (1.35 ~ 1.5 mm)
- 7 bottom layer * (1.2 mm) excluded from first 3mm
- 7 top layers (1.2 mm) excluded from first 3mm
- Infill 15%~20%, Honeycomb
*Note: When printing the basket, uses only the infill pattern without top or bottom layers, to create the ventilation holes at the bottom.
Depending on the slicer used, set a separate process or an exclusion zone on the first 3mm of the basket, so as not to print solid layers on top and bottom of the ventilation holes. The rest of the basket is printed normally.
M3 threads are molded in the basket design for the countersunk head screw.
Standoffs:
- Layer Hight: 200uM (.20 mm)
- 3 perimeters or shells (1.35 ~ 1.5 mm)
- 7 bottom layers (1.2 mm)
- 7 top layers (1.2 mm)
- Infill 15%~20%, Honeycomb
Note: 2 standoffs are required for assembly.
Additional items needed for assembly
- 2 Countersunk head screws M3x16 (or M3x18)
Assembly Instructions
Insert the countersunk head M3 x16 screws in the molded pre-threaded M3 holes at the top of the basket from the outside.
Insert the standoffs in the slots of the top rectangular tray. The opening of the standoff needs to be on top, facing the center of the tray.
Mount the basket on top of the standoffs. Adjust the length of the screws (tighten or loosen) for a good fit.
