Beehive Mold Hexagonal

thingiverse

I'm using a Core H4 Printer from Gtmax3D, a Brazilian company that truly delivers excellent results. Their website features detailed specifications for anyone interested. The object I printed is a square mold measuring 100x100x8 mm in all dimensions, designed specifically for rolling ceramics on top (it can be scaled to suit various needs). I carefully crafted the hexagons with a width of 4mm and a space of 1mm between them. Initially, I encountered some challenges while printing it lying down, but after adjusting my settings, it worked beautifully. Since I plan to use this mold for rolling ceramic on top, I decided to print it standing up to ensure maximum layer strength. I'm thoroughly satisfied with the results, as the standing-up version boasts the perfect balance of toughness and precision. For this particular print job, I employed a 0.15mm layer height (though I'm curious to see how higher layers will perform). To achieve the desired level of durability, I opted for 100% infill density; however, I realize that lower infill percentages could still yield impressive results. The print was executed as shown in the picture, with the square standing upright.
