Desiccant bead funnel attachment

A specialised funnel that screws onto the top of a desiccant container, making it easy to pour dried desiccant beads.

This attachment is a “Frankensteined” mashup of a funnel and an end cap that was designed to handle the craziness of desiccant beads. Inspired by the success of my desiccant-pouring lid, I just mashed a funnel with a screw top that fits my desiccant bead container perfectly.

This simplistic yet innovative design has saved our kitchen floor from numerous runaway desiccant beads. Previously, I used several 3D-printed funnels to transfer desiccant into the corresponding containers after drying, but the process was frustrating, it also required an extra hand. You really need two hands to control desiccant beads!

To prevent the desiccant beads from bouncing out and scattering everywhere, it turns out you need an especially wide-brimmed and tall funnel.

Hope you like it!
