Plastic milk bag holder (with hexagon pattern)

thingiverse

Hello everyone, I'm excited to share my first 3D modeling project, and I chose Blender software to make it. It's actually pretty straightforward! The Challenge: In my country, we use regular-sized plastic bags for milk, but there aren't any holders made of plastic or other materials. So, I decided to design something practical! The dimensions of this holder are 10cm in diameter and 17.5 cm tall. My Design: I created the cup from a tube, then added an hexagonal pattern wall, curved it into a circle, used a Boolean modifier, exported it, and printed it on my Anet A8. The Print: I printed the holder with ABS at 40mm speed for about 8 hours. To finish it off, I applied an acetone vapor smoothing treatment for an hour and let it dry completely. Now, the holder looks fantastic! I've uploaded STL files with and without supports that I created in Meshmixer (they require less material and time). Enjoy!
