Small Bowl

I waned a small bowl of about these dimensions. I looked at Thingiverse in "bowl" and "dish" and didn't find anything that caught my eye. So I sketched this up.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Prusa

Printer:

i3 MK3

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

0.2mm

Infill:

20%

Filament: Amazon PLA, 1.75 Purple

Notes:

I tried printing this flat without supports and wasn't happy with the finish of the entire underside.

Instead, I printed it standing up (as the model is distributed) with supports and this only leaves on small section of one side that needs to be sanded (supports on curved surfaces are always less than perfect - for me, anyway).

Post-Printing

Since this had supports on a curved surface, I did some sanding to smooth it out. It's still a tiny bit ugly bit feels smooth enough. I'm happy.

How I Designed This

Sketched it up in Fusion 360 using a revolve and some fillets.
