I am very new to this (1 month since I got a 3D printer, and very first thing shared with others!) so don't hesitate to tell me if I need to clarify or change anything to my post.
This is a remix of the FAST Print In-Spool Desiccant (Silica Gel) Container with Hygrometer by PsychProd, and adaptation from its remix to make the body stronger (Stonger body by Woodwaker). Both models were fantastic, but I just had 2 concerns after printing:
So I inserted vents in the bottle cap and added a vented surface between the thread for the bottle and the portion that holds the hygrometer, leading to a more representative air read by the hygrometer.
I also added a screw/ring with wings at the bottom and wings on the cap, so that it can hold in place inside the spool hole.
I also felt the original version's body was a little weak, so I liked Woodwaker's remix, but I added fewer columns in the bottle wall, and preserved the vented bottom for the original bottle (as this remix had a solid bottom) to improve air contact/flow.
Oh and bonus (totally unplanned but a nice coincidence), with the vents in the cap, you can access the battery flap to change the battery without having to pop out the hygrometer from the cap.
