Home Depot Bucket Funnel

prusaprinters

<p>This creates a funnel inside of a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket to route dry material down to a hole in the center of the bottom.</p> <p>It's not a complete solution on its own, and is the first step in a DIY salt spreader that I'm working on, but it could be adapted for seeds, dry food, or the like.</p> <p>In the future, hope to have a shaft going down the middle with a spreader plate spun by a 18V drill or similar. There also needs to be a gate or valve to control the flow of salt. Unlike commercial seed/salt spreaders I plan to just carry it instead of using wheels. Some kind of legs will be required to keep the spreader plate from hitting the ground.</p> <p>Maybe I'll never complete it, I don't know, but this is a first step that you might be able to use for something else.</p> <p>The 4 quarters fit pretty snugly, but builders adhesive or caulking might be a good idea for the finished project.</p> <p>FreeCad 0.18 source is included.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>CR-10S</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>Wall thickness 1mm or greater.

It will print without any infill, or very little.</p> These take rather long to print and the quality isn't that critical, so push the limits on layer height and speed. I was able to print 2 at a time but each set took nearly a day. </div></p></p></p> Category: Outdoor & Garden
