Description
Tray extension for non-branded food dehydrators which are 275 mm (10.8 in) or 330 mm (13 in) in diameter, so that they can be used to dry filament. Please note that I have not tested the sizing of any of the 330 mm parts as I do not own a food dehydrator that size. Please let me know via comment or message if you have problems with these pieces.
It is split into quarters. One version has an M5 hole which you can screw a Bowden adapter into, another is solid, and the third has a space to mount a temperature and humidity gauge, which is also untested as I do not own one. Separate mounting pieces for the gauge are available for both sizes.
For the gauge reference I have used one with a 25 x 45 mm mounting hole such as this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-LCD-Meter-Temperature-Humidity-Thermometer-Hygrometer-Vivarium-Reptile-BI701/262996361073?epid=20016010829&hash=item3d3bcdff71:g:8YIAAOSwPcBbMQIY
This version won't stack. If there is demand for a stacking version I can make one at a later time.
I recommend printing them with PETG or ABS in order to withstand high temperatures without deforming. However, these pieces are fairly thick and may hold up well if PLA is used.
If you're looking for a spool holder to use in your dehydrator, you can try this one that I made: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/20325-vash-vertical-axis-spool-holder
Brim highly recommended. No supports needed. High temp filament (e.g. ABS, PETG) recommended.
Parts shown printed in ABS at 0.20 layer height, 20% gyroid infill, and 4 perimeters.
