Good model. Thanks for sharing.
@RenePoschl_625865 Hi, thanks for your feedback :)
Thank you for these models, it really shows how much effort you put into this.
I've had a little hard time printing it, but it was probably my own fault.
I've decided to use 0.8mm nozzle in order to have thick walls of the container (using the 0.4 QUALITY mode). Used 2 bottom layers and Vase mode.
I used the 40x80 size, but the first prints had almost no holes in it.
So I've ended up using the 25x50 variants scaled up to 160% on X and Y axis.
I've also scaled it up to 145% on the Z axis, to have about 40mm height.
Also printed very slowly with clear PETG, as I wanted it to be as transparent as possible.
The containers came out pretty nice with these settings.
Lids are a different story. I've used the flexi ones. The model has very thin line hole between flexing parts and cover. PrusaSlicer decided to ignore the empty space when printing with 0.4 layer height (even when it was scaled up the same way as containers).
I've had to add negative volume objects in the slicer to make the empty space bigger.
I've also had to tweak the settings for this layer (turning fan on 100%, etc.) - but that's probably again on me (because of the Clear PETG).
EDIT: I printed another set of containers and opted for the 2-part lids. They were easier to print with clear PETG, and opening and closing the containers feels much smoother.
I should have probably used the 0.4 nozzle from the start, as it seems that this model counts with it.
I still think the holes will be a little too small, if not scaled up at least a little bit (but I haven't tested it).
All in all, thank you very much for this model and for the work you put in it. (edited)
@Gh61 Hi, thank you very much for your feedback and your kind words. Seems like your good knowledge of the slicing software enabled you to adapt my model to your specific needs. Very cool setup by the way, very suimilar to what I'm going for.
I really liked your use of the scaling function to increase the hole size to your desired dimensions. I went for small holes to avoid any risk of spillage of silica beads, which would be very annoying.
About the lids, I use Cura as main slicing software and it worked ok, thanks for reporting this issue. As you correctly pointed out, the part were designed around the classic 0.4mm line width, 0.2mm layer thickness.
Since the gap is only 0.2mm in thickness, I'd suggest you to use a layer thickness equal or smaller than the gap thickness, which could avoid this problem. (I think PrusaSlicer lets you select a smaller layer thickness on some specific layers, which could resolve the small gap on the selected layer, but manteining the faster 0.4mm thickness for the rest of the model.)
Thanks for all your comments, have a nice day.
It's a nice, clean model, but unfortunately, the sizing is a little 'too' exact, and it's rather difficult to get a comfortable grip since the hole sizes are essentially the exact dimensions of the tap filter leaving no wiggle room. A 5-star review would require a model that can fit the tap fittings comfortably without force and where the filter can be removed from the tool without force.
@DavidsGotWood Hi, I'm sorry for your bad experience. I crated and tested the design using my 3d printer, so the fit could change based on your specific machine and tuning.
Since you are surely not the only person with this problem, I uploaded multiple designs with different tolerance, so everyone can print the perfect one with his machine. Have a nice day.
Pekny, rychly a hodne rikajici test pro prvni vrstvu. Hodil se, diky moc 🙂 👍 🙂
@MichalFiala_555874 Hi, thanks for your feedback.
Could you make the threads for a "resmed" hose? It doesnt appear to be trying to grab at them when trying to thread it

@AddictiveManufactrng Dont suppose you still have the step files?
@Axi0m_985691 It is now available between the files (edited)
did you have any back pressure from the fan that the air is going back out from the intake ?
i have this problem
i changed your model an strecht it for an smoother flow but not better

@AddictiveManufactrng i will try a 7030 hope its better but with my 12032 it's not good my 5015 makes more flow on my stealthburner
(i pland to use it on Voron 2.4 Stealthburner)
@N1_3D_Print_409978 So you are using the 12032. I'm currently using the 7530. it seems to have more than enough cooling for me, but I usually don't print at more than 100mm/s with a 0.4mm nozzle.
If the cooling is the limit for you, I recommend looking up for Vez3D channel and look at his remote setup. He uses a much more powerful blower fan, which is surely able to give tou all the airflow you want.
Good Idea and design. I'm not convinced about using vase mode. Ok, the result looks good, but only one component can be printed at a time. I would be happy if there were also models without vase mode. (edited)

@AddictiveManufactrng THANKS FOR YOUR ANWSER. I know the functions, but don't think that way. I only use prusaslicer (time with cura is long ago- use it for my first DIY-Printer) because I only own prusa printer.

*Modified Ender 3 V2 (CitrusM1)* Awesome model, never tuned steps/mm on printer and printed perfectly, helped make my CitrusM2!
