Autoclave reactor

prusaprinters

<p>My first design after acquiring a 3D printer… Being a chemical engineer, I reckoned that I should model a reactor of sorts and produced this design using Fusion. Although the legs are a bit skinny and the flanges do not match the reactor's "pressure rating", I wasn't too disappointed with the result. It would make an awesome nerdy beer glass (in which case it is advisable to plug the bottom drain).</p><p>The lid can be screwed down using printed M6x20 nuts and bolts that can be found elsewhere on Thingiverse / Prusa.<br/>I suggest to use a tree support to prevent the vessel's legs becoming encased in scaffolding (which is what I obtained using default Cura settings).</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Creality</p><p><strong>Printer: </strong></p><p>Ender 3 Pro</p><p>Rafts:  No</p><p>Supports: Yes</p><p>Resolution: 200</p><p>Infill:  20%</p><p>Filament: PLA</p><p>As you can tell from the line pattern, the shell was printed lying horizontally. The surface should be smoother when printing upright, but I have not tried this yet - working on a cyclone vacuum cleaner!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Category: Buildings &amp; Structures</p>
