Christmas Stocking Container

thingiverse

The Christmas Stocking Container is a cleverly designed screw cap container that takes on the shape of a festive Christmas stocking. Its standard scale boasts an internal storage area measuring 35mm in diameter and 80mm tall - ample space for storing small treats. This design prints easily, but it does require exceptional build plate adhesion to ensure the stocking prints flawlessly. To achieve optimal results, print the cap in white and the stocking in red. Scaling up this design is feasible, but scaling down may lead to insufficient thread clearance, making it impossible for the cap and stocking to screw together correctly. When printed at standard scale on a well-maintained PLA machine equipped with a filament fan, the parts should assemble smoothly straight off the build plate. For more information, please refer to the instructions, print settings, and accompanying images. If you enjoy this design, be sure to check out my other fun and practical designs! Tips are always appreciated as they help offset my filament costs, but if you're unable to send tips via PayPal.Me due to geographical restrictions, consider using regular PayPal and sending it to muzz64nz@gmail.com. I extend my gratitude in advance to those who choose to do so. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: Standard / 0.20mm Infill: PLA / 2 shells / 25mm infill or more Notes: To ensure excellent build plate adhesion, especially when printing towards the edges with no support, it's recommended to use Raft and higher-than-usual infill to add strength in threaded areas. Post-Printing: Simply fill the container with treats and/or small gifts, screw on the cap, and hang it up for a delightful Christmas display.
