Making a little #guitar humidifier
I'm using a design off #Thingiverse with some substantial edits. It #3Dprinted nicely after editing and I'm using some microfibre dish cloth material to hold the moisture.
PLA filament is notoriously hygroscopic (absorbs water and becomes brittle) but for about 60 cents of material I can just print a new one if it breaks occasionally.
I'll post a link below for your use after I upload the reworked design. I removed prob 100k vertices from the orig design.

The humidifier sits between the strings. I was glad it fits with the pickup in place too.

@ottaross then you put the guitar back in the case and close it tightly?

@johnefrancis prob ideally, but I leave mine out and rely on just local humidity in the body of the guitar, with refills as necessary.
There are other designs aimed at inside the case too.

Nicer than the old perforated sour cream container I've used previously.

You could maybe varnish the thing with epoxy to get around the water problem? -

But ultimately it's easier to just use it as is and replace if it fails. I recall that I've also made a water nozzles for an outdoor pond that have direct water and sun/UV exposure that still lasted for multiple years, so the risk is prob minimal.

@ottaross
Sure, especially with the enormous cost involved ;) -
