The file 'Flanged Desiccant Holder Dryer Carousel 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 27.4MB.
After printing up a bunch of ettorelorenzi's spool desiccant holders (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6233038), I realized that I had no way of drying them except for drying them along with the filament during use, or laboriously emptying them and using the oven.
Inspired by KYZ Design's "Desiccant Dryer Ferris Wheel" (https://makerworld.com/en/models/73654#profileId-78102), I decided to make a version that could handle larger flanges without interference. This carousel can hold 5 such containers, and has a center hole so it can be stored on a spool rack, or used in a dryer with central spool support
There are 2 versions. The primary is based around using the canisters' own closing mechanisms to keep the 2 parts together, and the second has holes for M6x65mm bolts in case you want something sturdier or to keep the parts together in storage. Print 2 of either version and you're good to go
Both will print without supports and at any resolution. Just use filament that can handle the temperatures in your dryer for extended periods
Note: the print takes up a 200mm diameter circle and can't be scaled down, so be aware for small printers like the A1 mini
