I have designed smaller sharp containers in the past but this is by far my most ambitious Tinkercad design and print.

 

Be warned, this container is BIG.


 

The top section of the container has built-in support structures to assist with print bridging.

You do not need to add internal support but please print the test model first.

This will allow you to check you printer and slice settings to ensure your printer does not fail when it gets to the top section.


 

Test Model with built-in support:

You will notice that during the start of the top-section bridging there might be some stringing and section failing to bridge properly.
The subsequent layers will build onto and cover the initial failures to provided a smooth top finish at the end.


 

You will need more than 3/4 of a 1kg roll of filament to complete this print!


 

Print parameters:

Layer Hight: 0.2mm

Top & Bottom Layers: 6 / 1.2mm

Wall Loops: 3

Infil: 15-20%


 

Container Print Time: 1 day

Filament length required: 262m

Weight: 780g
