Description

A combined desiccant and hygrometer holder that slips into the pour hole of the lid of a plastic dry goods box. I like this approach as it is neater than using baggies. With this setup, I can get internal humidity down to 10-15%.

Additional Materials (I bought from Amazon - not affiliated with any of them):

Wildone Cereal Storage Containers (6)
Tasogen 12 Pack Mini Digital Thermometer/Hygrometer
Dry & Dry 1 Quart Orange Premium Desiccant Indicating Silica Gel Beads

Features

Plugs into existing hole in storage container lid. You can pull off the existing hinged plug on container lid for a nice, clean look
Desiccant can be accessed without taking container lid off
Desiccant is up where humidity is highest and there is room for a generously sized desiccant cup
Quarter turn connection between lid and cup ensures correct alignment of hygrometer

The fit could use a mm more in size to fit more snug in the box I think. Other than that they printed great. I made about 50 of them.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want to waste a bunch of filament putting something on the bottom for the spool to rotate on, and I wasn't going to use the filament from inside the cereal box. so, this works great for the humidity monitoring. Now I've got to get to work printing a whole bunch of them for my filament shelves. Thanks for the design.
