Hey @dbideas_8791, I think the updated lid is great! Thanks!

I am printing with Overture Clear PETG and even with a 0.8mm layer height the threads are too fine to screw on easily.

I love the design because I can easily see the color of the beads.

Unfortunately the lid is an issue for me. (edited)

Hi, model is now updated to improve performance of lid!
Thanks again for your feedback

Prints really well (my make doesn't look great, but I printed it in just half an hour)!
The screw threads also work well.
Unfortunately, the gaps are a tiny bit too large for my silica gel beads, so some fall out

Hi Pascal, thanks for the review!
Yes, I found that some broken and misshaped bead fall out of mine too, but not often.

Prints fast, looks good. Quite stable for this little filament used.
BUT: My silica beads are too small and leak out :-(

Had error
"ConfigBase::set_deserialize() failed for parameter "gcode_flavor", value "marlin2"" when trying to open the 3mf file with Prusaslicer, but opened it with Ideamaker, and exported to STL. Same can be done with 3dBuilder.
Perfectly fits Prusament spool, also works with other spools.

I'm impressed how easily the base and lid screw together. One suggestion -- change the fill pattern for top and bottom surfaces for faster printing.

@DPdesign
Thanks for the like and the suggestion, I just update the design!

Really great to put silica gel beads inside.
Printed with PLA

Fits every spool I have. Works well with a vacuum bag for TPU. Thak you :)

Nice design that fits with Prusament spools. Printed in PETG and fill with recovery desiccant. Thanks for sharing
