A beautiful and robust watering can โ designed to be as big as possible for a regular 3D-printer. By printing it 45 degrees rotated, the z-height is used more efficiently while adding to stability due to bigger layers on the handle.
Versions included 1,3L; 1,0L; 0,7L; 0,5L Please donโt scale the file down on your own since the wall- and handle thickness will be reduced and could cause the can to leak.
Size standing 1,3L (as it will be used): 278 x 160 x 160 mm
Print settings Required build volume for the 1,3L version: 190x190x250 mm Material usage: 190g Print time: 17h
Material: PLA Print direction: Stl is rotated correctly, check images Support: none Nozzle size: 0,4 mm Line width: 0,4 mm Layer height 0,2 mm Outer walls: 3 Infill: 20% Build plate adhesion type: If you have bad bed adhesion, consider using a brim
Watertight printing - If you have a well set up machine it comes automatically - Otherwise here are some tips: Increase your wall count (at least 3), level your bed nicely, decrease print speed, increase layer height (at least 0.2mm), check your seam quality, calibrate your e-steps and fine tune your retraction settings to make sure no holes appear after a layer change.
