A remix of the [Filament Dehydrator](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2052154) by [jneilliii](https://www.thingiverse.com/jneilliii).
I have the same food dehydrator and liked jneilliii's design because it does not require any modifications to the dehydrator. This uses basically the same dimensions and works with the same [Rubbermaid 12-qt container](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BC5EY4).
Being dexterously challenged (translation: clumsy) I had a hard time properly fitting up the lap joints of the parent design. So, CAD to the rescue. Similar rings but with small brackets on the inside that are sized to accept short lengths of raw filament that pin the ring segments together. With the filament pins inserted, the eight (or four) ring segments hold together as a unit that can be mounted on the dehydrator for final shaping and gluing.
Print the eight or four separate segments; larger printers should be able to print the quarter-circle segments. Supports are only needed under the
