    Working from home and I've ran out of projects. So, a trip to Home Depot and $40 and I created this mock template. Super rough model, but I'm just testing how it functions. Tired of throwing pads on a rack and letting them air dry and a fan on them isnt much faster (air just blows everywhere, not focused enough).

    12" x 12" x 18" pad drying box. Channels air through the box and exits out the rear vents. Can fit up to 18 pads at once, but 12 more comfortably. Thinking some silica gel packs tossed in to reduce air moisture and speed drying (only useful if/when I made an airtight at the edges box). Box takes 5 min to deconstruct and can store 12" x 3" x 18" on a shelf.

    End goal would be a hard plastic structure with 3D model braces and sealed with more proficient vents with a warm air source (not a simple room fan like I'm using). Cant introduce a warm air source yet as the popsicle braces are made from hot glue, they'd just droop at that point.

    I'm bored. So take a look at my boredom.
