Notes:
- All the parts are in the correct print orientation.
- Use thicker layers for larger parts, e.g., reel drum and desiccant baskets to reduce print time.
- Use nominal supports as suggested by the slicer.
- Desiccant baskets and drum cylinder print without supports.
- To move the filament ports to the other side of the tub, mirror the two ports and the port drill jig in the slicer.

How I Designed This
This is the next generation of the original 5.5L Sistema Dry Box. Apart from its smaller size, it has a lower part count, and parts are quicker to print; especially the desiccant containers which print more than twice as fast.
The two usability change are that the reel is now retained in the lid and not the tub. Mounted on a machine, this makes filament changes easier. The two extrusion retaining levers on the base have been swapped out with a more secure sliding arrangement.
Retained are the drill center templates and the temporary spool holder.
Some of the feedback from the original version has been included here, including better print-bed footprints, markings, and the addition of printed TPU seals and BOM documentation.
