Space Pi vent-top silica bead tray

Gives silica beads a home inside a Space Pi case, so damp air has somewhere to go besides your electronics. The lid is a row of slots that lets air in while the beads stay put. Set the smallest bead size to match yours.

Good to know

  • I didn't have the dryer's exact spool-hole size, so I used 52 mm; measure yours and set the slider.
  • Check the cap fit with a test print; the Cap fit slider adjusts it if it is too loose or tight.
  • PLA softens around 55 °C. Dryer temperatures at or below about 50 °C should be fine; for hotter drying use PETG.
