8-sided spiral bowl mk1

pinshape

Summary: Eight-sided spiral bowl with four press-fit legs. The bowl body prints flat, as large as your printer base will allow. Four separate legs printed, then fit into place under the bowl body. 180mm diameter - could be bigger, but depends on the printer bed. Print Settings: Printer: 3D Stuffmaker Prusa Explorer Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .3 Infill: 20% Material: PLA - flexible enough for the bowl to shape as needed by the legs How I Designed This: I designed and trialed with a 3Doodler. A wood trivet inspired me, made with a spiral cut that's flat until you move the lever up to convert it into a bowl. I wondered if this could be done with 3D printing. I sketched out my design, then tried it with a 3Doodler 3D pen and it worked. Finally, I checked Thingiverse for spirals and found customizers available. This is based on one of the spiral customizers.
