Multi-level Egg Holder

thingiverse

The prototype for this model were large paper containers for eggs in stores and warehouses. They allow laying eggs on several levels. One level usually contains 30 eggs. Customizer is available; however, it does not work well. If you need to change some parameters, insert your values into the .scad file instead. Parameters available for changes (and default values): * height = 52 * width = 48 * top = 10 * thickness = 1.6 * x_count = 3 * y_count = 3 * version = "B" // from "A", "B", "C", "D" The name of the model is constructed in the following way: (x_count)(y_count)(version). Parameters x_count, y_count do not mean the number of eggs, but the number of units of length. Dimensions of the XYV model can be calculated as follows: * [X x width] , [Y x width] , [height + thickness] * [3 x 48], [3 x 48], [53.6] It is easy to see that xyA = yxA, xyB = yxD, xyC = yxC, xyD = yxB - through horizontal rotation. Also - by vertical rotation: xyA=xyC, xyB=xyD, xyC=xyA, xyD=xyB. However, the vertical rotation is not always good due to the print properties on the 3D printer. If you are building a multi-level container, choose components properly. For example: 43B + 43D + 43B ... It is best to use model A for a single-level container, and models B-D for multi-level container. My print settings in Cura program: * adhesion_type = brim * bridge_settings_enabled = True * layer_height = 0.2 * layer_height_0 = 0.2 * infill_sparse_density = 100 * outer_inset_first = True * retraction_hop_enabled = True * speed_print = 40 * speed_travel = 60 * top_bottom_thickness = 0.8 * wall_thickness = 1.2 The adhesion to the table is important here. Depending on your printer, choose raft, brim or none. You can avoid printing supports if your printer works well at printing bridges. The exception is the printout of model A, but it can be replaced by model C.
