Description

PDF

Use as a spare part or for other sieve sizes.

There are 2 different models, one for printing TPU 95A and one for printing PETG.

Size

Suitable for spice jar as shown in the screenshot of the sketch (outer diameter 31 mm).

  • 7 Holes, diameter 3 mm
  • 15 Holes, diameter 1.5 mm

Different Sizes

You can adjust the size in the FreeCAD model supplied.
If you need a model file for PETG printed in TPU, adapt the FreeCAD model to the external dimensions of TPU like in another TPU-model or vice versa.
 

Printing material

Print material TPU 95A (1.6 grams) or PETG (0.9 grams) - use the appropriate model.
 

Printing

It's recommended to print models with hole diameters smaller than 3 mm with Nozzle 0.2 mm and very low first layer speed ( ~ 7 mm/s).

Nozzle 0.2 mm, Layer height 0.10 mm, 4 wall loops, (at least) 3 bottom shell and top shell layers (no infill needed), no support, no brim.

Nozzle 0.4 mm, Layer height 0.2 mm, 2 or more walls, 2 bottom shell and top shell layers, no support, no brim.
Slowing down the print is recommended. It's not even a gram, so the printing time is practically irrelevant. Set the flow rate down to about 6 mm³/s (nozzle 0.4 mm, layer height 0.2 mm) and first layer speed ≤15 mm/s to obtain nice circles.

TPU sticks well on Bambu CoolPlate, PETG sticks very good on smooth HighTemp Plate / PEI Plate.
