Aesthetically, I also prefer the larger cross-sectional area of the triangle top\/bottom for better airflow. I find that the triangle mesh provides a nicer look on the endcaps of the holder and have less issues associated with plastic flex than the circular grill pattern found in some models.  Lastly, the large threads in this model print well with PLA, but also work with trickier filaments like Nylon.. so you could even print dehydrator-resistant jars..  to dry your silica and the roll at the same time !\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach side is embossed with “top” or “bottom”, so you don't make the mistake of unscrewing things upside down.  The thickness of the wide base was adjusted to be easily graspable with fingers so you don't struggle to open\/close the thing.  Early versions I made had this issue unfortunately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilly details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name SpinCycle and the water droplets come from the idea of how a washing machine extracts excess moisture at the end of the clothes wash.… I originally planned to make them holes so you could attach one side of the holder permanently to a spool with a screw, but found that to be too much effort and also unnecessary.. the containers stay in place great with compression from screwing the two parts together snugly.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes on Silica Gel sizes and the triangle mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNominally, these triangles should not let any perfect sphere over size 1.0 mm through, but silica gel isn't perfect.  Therefore it's good to make sure you're getting good mostly uniform sized silca gel of size 2.0 mm or greater when using these.  I use Dry\u0026amp;Dry brand here in the USA.  In any case, it's typical to be able to buy gel pre-sieved in a range (say 2-4 mm).  Since these do rotate with the filament roll if you have lots of little half-broken bits in your gel they could leak out during use.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're paranoid, you can avoid this by sieving your bulk silica gel with the included optional sieve model, which should ensure that nothing will leak out, because this sieve is the same size triangle mesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by Adam L on MakerWorld (license: BY-SA).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67399895056688,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_dd4cba07-3b82-416e-856d-75e449af8a09.png?v=1784915469","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/spincycle-keep-every-spool-dry-for-bambu-x1-p1p-ams-and-print-from-dryboxes","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
