Candy Bowl by Creative Tools

Think outside the box, you can never have too few boxes. Print a single box of your own stacking boxes to keep your things in disarray may they be screws, nuts, bolts, toys or other miscellaneous things. Just like our Candy Bowl we designed this box specifically for testing 3D-prints with small-bore nozzles. The result is an opaque box 3D-printed at 0.2mm layerheight with a 0.5 mm nozzle. Even though it's possible to print this box at lower speeds, we increased it to achieve a dull matte surface along with a poorer quality print. This shows very well in the two attached pictures with the upper part being printed at a slower speed than the lower part. Not only will the result have a lower degree of opacity but the print quality will also be worse since the plastic can't be extruded and cooled down as quickly which is needed when extruded with a smaller size nozzle. The outer dimensions of the box are 80x80x40mm. At around 60-70 mm/s it took more than four hours to print. We have kept the geometry as complex as possible to make it hard to print. To get rid of the layer-change zipper-line we used normal-mode in our print settings. To break the box and achieve suboptimal transparency we 3D-printed the candy bowl using taulman 3D t-gloss (PET) filament.
