Part Jar Trays (Fast Vase Mode)

prusaprinters

<p>These trays organize part jars from my other project: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/239144-part-jars-fast-vase-mode">Part Jars (Fast Vase Mode)</a></p><p>The skeleton frame design minimizes filament usage and allows the trays to be printed quickly using spiral vase mode. &nbsp;The frames flex some but the bottom flanges prevent the jars from falling out. &nbsp;The spiral ends are designed to fuse with the adjoining walls to add extra rigidity.</p><p>The trays are available in 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 grids or a round 7 in a number of different jar diameter sizes. See the download folders for options.</p><h4><strong>Print Settings:</strong></h4><ul><li>Material: PLA</li><li>Nozzle: 0.4mm</li><li>Layer Height: 0.2mm</li><li>Line Width: 0.5mm &nbsp;&lt;== Important</li><li>Perimeters: 1</li><li>Bottom Layers: 0 &nbsp;&lt;== Important</li><li>Infill: None</li><li>Supports: None</li><li>Bed Adhesion: Skirt</li><li>Spiral Vase: Enabled (Prusa Slicer setting)</li><li>Spiralize Outer Contour: Enabled (Cura setting)</li><li>Smooth Spiralized Contours: Disable (Cura setting)</li><li>Printing Orientation: &nbsp;Tray bottom-side down</li></ul><p>Notes:</p><ul><li>The printer should have a 0.4mm nozzle.</li><li>Setting <i>Bottom Layers</i> to zero saves a little time and filament by not filling in the center walls. &nbsp;In Cura the first layer will look like this:<br><img class="image_resized" style="width:37.38%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/241700/rich_content/b55c3d91-8e47-4d7d-ac41-6cf44e8ede11/first_layer.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22da6b32a3-df89-4d94-b6a5-ae57d1a78768%22%2C%22w%22%3A864%2C%22h%22%3A651%7D"></li><li>In Cura:&nbsp;<ul><li>Enable <strong>Spiralize Outer Contour</strong> under the <strong>Special Modes</strong> category.</li><li>I found a bug with the <strong>Smooth Sprialized Contours</strong> setting so disable that.</li></ul></li><li>In Prusa Slicer, enable <strong>Spiral Vase</strong> in the <strong>Vertical Shells</strong> section on the <strong>Print Settings</strong> tab.</li><li>If the frame flex is too much, a brim could be added in selective locations to tie the walls together better without using too much extra filament or print time.</li></ul><h4>&nbsp;</h4><h4>Other Notes:</h4><p>The 22mm diameter 4x4 tray will fit these <a href="https://www.sterilite.com/product-page.html?product=16078024">Sterilite baskets</a> 3 across and stacked 2 high.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:48.37%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/241700/rich_content/c091d712-eaf9-444f-ae31-df28409fc1d8/tray_basket.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22026d5daa-6d55-4f89-ae48-71a1267390fc%22%2C%22w%22%3A626%2C%22h%22%3A779%7D"></figure>
