Description

This project features a set of containers inspired by classic Petri dishes, designed specifically for 3D printing. They are made from transparent PETG, allowing for a clean, glass-like appearance when printed with the right settings.

🔬 Features

• Material: transparent PETG
• Design: sealed containers with matching lids
• Shape: cylindrical with increased height
• Height: approximately 1.5× the diameter, making them more spacious than standard Petri dishes

📏 Available Sizes

• 40 mm
• 50 mm
• 80 mm
• 100 mm

Thanks to their increased height, these are not just shallow dishes but practical containers suitable for storing small parts, samples, or workshop materials.

🧪 Printing Tips (for best transparency)

To achieve the clearest possible PETG finish:

• Print mode: vase mode (spiralize outer contour)
• Bottom layers: 5
• Line width: 0.8 mm
• Nozzle: 0.4 mm (works without issues)
• Print speed: low (very important for clarity)

Additional recommendations:

• Use stable, slightly higher PETG temperatures
• Minimize retractions to avoid artifacts
• Ensure proper flow calibration

💡 Summary

This design combines simplicity with functionality. With proper print settings, you can achieve a very clean, almost glass-like result. These containers are useful for hobby, workshop, and educational purposes.

A great project if you want to push the visual quality of transparent PETG prints.
