25°(ish) tilt Jar (Ø74mm x 120mm) Rack for Seperation and Settling

thingiverse

Human: So, it was time to prove the principle of strip mining by upscaling the operation and design. I was no longer using an Anchovy Jar but rather a much larger "Uncle Ben's Sweet and Sour" Jar. This jar boasts a 74 millimeter diameter main body and a 54 millimeter diameter base. The height of the jar comes in at approximately 120mm. In contrast, my previous strip mining rig was built using jars for Anchovies and utilized a rack positioned at a 45-degree angle. I realized this was not ideal for the larger project I had envisioned so I drew up some sketches to better plan out my next move. Taking note of the dimensions and the design parameters, I decided to make a crucial adjustment by drawing a line parallel between the top points of the base rack. This proved to be an extremely long build process that lasted about 6 hours, which made me think twice about using slicer 3 and my RepRap clone in future projects. Unfortunately, this strip mining operation highlighted a glaring problem - a significant drop in mm units at different heights due to axis scaling issues with my machine. It appeared there was roughly one millimeter difference between the top point of the jaw and its corresponding bottom point, resulting in a skewed 90-degree angle rather than a perfectly formed 90 degrees. It struck me that if I had to print objects that were at a 45-degree angle on the build platform this problem would only be exacerbated further due to reasons beyond my understanding. I've done some editing here with the assistance of voice typing since its not really going down smoothly for some reason. This part is a continuation from yesterday as mentioned on thingiverse under open source which got put in this thing yesterday so i have it linked underneath. So, after having gone over what I am currently using and my design, I can tell you that my year's new resolution of producing one new 3D print per day will still be going forward regardless of this hiccup. Thus far, these models have seen publication on Thingiverse, however with some problems surfacing on their documentation system - which to me are major issues considering where this field is heading as I'm also thinking of taking it elsewhere if need be. As such for now my print queue for work will have these new aluminium hook prints so my place will have the parts in house now and then they can go onto thingiverse with hopefully less or zero issue and people may even use it in there 3D prints or projects for this particular case I just did a basic but based off of existing designs online such as 25° (ish) Tilt Jar.
