PET Crusher WIP

thingiverse

I'm designing a PET Crusher for Plastic Bottles. The goal is to minimize material usage while ensuring the structure remains sturdy enough to crush bottles effectively. Currently, I'm facing a challenge in finding a Voronoi function similar to Tinkercad's that allows me to set an angle threshold in the z-direction. This would enable printing without supports, which are time-consuming and often produce subpar results with flexible filaments. To overcome this hurdle, I'm exploring alternative methods: 1. Utilize Tinkercad's Voronoi template, adjusting it as needed. 2. Import the modified design into Blender, applying the bend function to create a more complex geometry. 3. Re-import the revised model back into Tinkercad for further refinement. The PET Crusher design can be viewed on Tinkercad at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/emYX9nXcIHz-pet-crusher/edit?sharecode=Ffemf3x3WRMHEXNXpz5KSfKa0bor6lIdPlLIcu2u77k=.
