Desiccant for AMS , models to use unpacked silica gel

[DzzD]

If anyone interested I made two simple 3d models to use silica gel into the Bambulab AMS and to add other using additional cases between spools.

To use in original desiccant cases :

And for additional cases :

I printed with the same color as the desiccant dry so I won’t forget the good silica color

How do you dry it afterward? Do you have a mesh container or some such you put in a dehydrator?

It depend on the brand of silica gel, this one can be reactivated in oven 100°C for 2 hours or with a micro-wave. (it turn green when wet and orange when dry)

EDIT: you can only to that a cupple of time, but the bucket is 1Kg, enough for a while.
