I liked the the [Humidity Gauge Spool Bracket](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4640997) by LoboCNC, but it neither fit well for my hygrometers (had to scale it up to 103%) nor many of my spools which have a lot of different hole sizes.
Therefore I designed my own variants of holding swirls for different type of spools
- large (~ 83mm) fits spools with a larger hole on one side (e.g. Eryone, Creality, Janbex)
- medium (~ 76mm) fits spools e.g. from Xingtong Zhi Lian
- small (~ 53mm) many spools and also back side of Eryone, Creality, Janbex, etc.
The silica granulate I keep in little Organza bags, which I can directly dry i the oven (90° - 110°) if the silica has been "soaked" and changed its color from orange to green. That's an important advantage to 3D printed Silica boxes, which I would never heat up like that in the oven. But to avoid the Organza bags from moving around inside the sealed bag, I also added a little cage cap to lock them in the spool hole.
