Pocket gum can

thingiverse

I enjoy crafting customized containers for various items. To keep essentials within easy reach, I created multiple compartments for storing aspirin, NSAIDs, and Tums in my work bag. Additionally, I've made some gum holders as I often crave chewing gum after meals when brushing isn't possible. This latest project gave me the opportunity to experiment with Cura plugins and observe how they interacted with OctoPrint. The experience has now led me to utilize Marlin4MPMD. The photos showcase three distinct types of gum alongside generic Ibuprofen. Choosing a 25% infill setting saved five minutes compared to 5% infill, which took longer to complete. To achieve a matte finish, I employed ironing techniques not limited to the top layer. While time-consuming, this method reduces shine on the silk black color, producing a flat grey hue reminiscent of matte finishes. My phone's photo quality suffers due to the window light, so please excuse any imperfections. The gum branding is embossed on one side and de-bossed on the other. To demonstrate the filament's appearance under poor lighting, I've included top, bottom, and side views in the photos. Initially, this project would have been a single-color design, but I utilized TTY3D silk black samples in various colors to create accents. Since my delta printer features a Bowden tube, these leftover samples can be repurposed for future projects, providing an excuse to experiment with Cura post-processing capabilities.
