Faceted Drinking Cup

thingiverse

I've been back in the game at Thingiverse after an extended break, but I'm parched, so I designed this sleek cup to test print with translucent filaments. Print Settings Printer Brand: Type A Machines Printer: 2015 Series 1 Rafts: Not a requirement Supports: None needed Resolution: .20mm precision Infill: 15% or go for none Notes: The inner part of the cup is carefully crafted with a smooth, curved bottom to ensure dishwasher safe materials can withstand washing. To make it water tight, try printing with 4 perimeters and 5 layers on top and bottom – experimentation is key. How I Designed This I used OpenScad to create this design. Starting with a simple circular base featuring 8 sides, I added a linear extrude to the cup's height with a twist component of 180 degrees, giving it that unique faceted look. Then, I subtracted a cylinder with rounded ends from the middle of the twisted circle, and voila – my cup design was complete.
