SINK AND BASIN STOPPER

INTRODUCTION: THIS IDEA WAS DEVELOPED HAVING INTO ACCOUNT PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER PREVENTIVE AND MANDATORY SOCIAL ISOLATION (ACCORDING TO ITS NAME IN ARGENTINA) AND WHO HAVE A 3D PRINTER AT HOME.
ORIGIN OF THE IDEA: THE IDEA OF CREATING A STOPPER IS BORN BECAUSE THESE ELEMENTS ARE FREQUENTLY LOST. SO WE THINK WHY NOT HAVING A STL OF IT SO THAT WHEN YOU LOSE ONE, YOU CAN CREATE ANOTHER ONE. (IT MUST BE MADE CLEAR THAT BEFORE CREATING A NEW ONE, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST TRY TO SEARCH THE LOST ONE.
INFORMATION SEARCH: BEFORE STARTING TO DESIGN, WE LOOKED FOR INFORMATION LIKE WHAT WILL BE THE MOST USED MEASURE ON KITCHEN SINKS AND ALSO THE MEASURES FOR BASINS. ONCE ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION WAS FOUND. WE STARTed DRAWING THE STOPPER.

DESIGN: BEFORE STARTING TO DESIGN THE STOPPER, A VIDEO CALL WAS MADE WITH ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE SCIENCE CLUB, IN WHICH EVERY DESING WAS SHOWN TO SEE THE MOST CONVENIENT ONE. THE DESIGNS WERE MADE IN FUSION 360.
IT MUST BE HIGHLIGHTED THAT THE MOST USED MEASURE IN ARGENTINA IS 2´´ (TWO INCHES). SO IF IT CHANGES ACCORDING TO THE COUNTRY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT BEFORE CHANGING THE ENTIRE DESIGN. YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE SCALE OF THE DESING.

Print instructions

3D Printing: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS (IT IS IMPORTANT TO CLARIFY THAT THEY MAY VARY ACCORDING TO THE BRAND AND MODEL OF THE PRINTER):
LAYER RESOLUTION: 0.2mm
WALL THICKNESS: 1.2mm
FILLING: 50%
PRINT SPEED: 70mm/seg
NOZZLE TEMPERATURE: 210 ° C
HEATED BED TEMPERATURE: 70 ° C
IT IS ALSO NECESSARY THAT THE FILAMENT MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS BETWEEN 60 ° C AND 80 ° C OF HOT BED AND BETWEEN 180 ° C AND 220 ° C OF TEMPERATURE IN THE NOZZLE. ALSO THE PRINTER USED WAS A TRIMAKER COSMOS ll (MADE IN ARGENTINA)
