I wanted a desiccant holder that could deal with the small-sized zeolite beads and preferably did have a million stop and starts when printing. After a lengthy search I was giving up and had the idea of a vase-mode print with gaps. Returning to the keyboard I hit a key more or less by accident and advanced one more line in the search only to find that very thing! And it was customizable too.
You will need the excellent Strawberry Pot Desiccant Jar by debren27. Print it with the stock 40mm diameter and any other changes you may want. For the smaller openings I wanted I set:
opening_radius=4;
opening_height=4;
openings_per_level=20;
The threaded insert should readily fit in the top of the holder. Glue it in place. I ran a bead of cyanoacrylate around the insert shoulder and that worked fine on the PLA that I was using. There are two versions of the insert. One if your "strawberry pot" was printed with 0.4 extrusion width and one if printed with the recommended 0.8 width.
The provided cap screws in place to close the holder and a funnel screws in to aid in filling and emptying the desiccant. (zeolite is a bouncy little escape artist that gets everywhere if you give it a chance)
I quickly threw together the design of these parts on OnShape where they are publicly available.
