3D Printed Bowl

This 3D printed bowl was sparked by the endless variety of laser cut bowls I've witnessed. The topmost bowl component boasts a maximum radius of 100mm and a minimum radius of 92mm. The bowl is expertly crafted from an Autodesk Fusion 360 sketch, where I started by defining the topmost bowl component's outer edge, then created each subsequent edge using the Sketch Scale function to achieve an average width of 8mm, finishing with .4mm gaps between the bowl components using the Sketch Offset function for separation after printing. With the sketch complete, I utilized the Modify Press Pull function to extrude the bowl components 4mm. The file "Bowl.stl" contains the eleven components that print in a single session, consuming approximately 55g of filament. I printed our bowls at .15mm layer height, 20% infill with no supports or adhesion. Once printed, starting with the innermost component, I rotated it (30 degrees), stacked, then glued each bowl component to the top of the previous one, level by level. I'm thrilled to share that this is how I designed, printed, and assembled my 3D Printed Bowl. I hope you found it an absolute delight! This project was brought to life using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced with Cura 4.1, and printed in PLA on both an Ultimaker 2+ Extended and an Ultimaker 3 Extended.
