Easy Dump Desiccant Drying Container

As my filament library grows, I have more and more desiccant beads to dry. Drying the beads was a frustrating process for me that usually ended up with some type of spill. I designed this easy dump container to solve this issue. The container is printed using PA6-GF so it can easily withstand the 250 degrees F needed to dry the beads. The capacity of the container is 1 quart with a bit of room to spare and slopes from the outside toward a threaded plug at its center. The design of the bottom of the container allows it to sit securely (look no hands!) on both 1 quart and 1 gallon desiccant bead containers (I use the dry & dry brand that is popular on Amazon). After the beads are dry, you place the container on top of either the 1 quart (2lb) or 1 gallon (6 lb) jug the beads came in (see pictures), Then you remove the threaded plug to transfer the beads from the container into the jug. I included an annotated gif so you could see how it works. The design takes a bit of filament and time
