Pythagorean Cup/Goblet

thingiverse

A curiosity-driven creation - the Pythagorean cup! I've added deliberate grooves to its base to aid in swift emptying, though it remains unclear whether these design changes will translate effectively into print results. My intention is to make a few modifications based on how well this first prototype performs. Update 1: By increasing the channels by about 1.75 times, I aimed to alleviate previous print-related flow issues, which were merely a trickle. Additionally, other problems that hindered earlier attempts have been addressed. Update 2: In response to unusual bottom characteristics during printing, I introduced a goblet variation of the cup, not only correcting these printing anomalies but also yielding a visually appealing result. My apologies for any confusion caused by previously included renderings which simulated channel refractions in CAD software. Update 3: Successful tests on updated versions of both goblet and cup demonstrate excellent draining capabilities within about 35 seconds - an outcome worthy of celebrating as project completion is near. Instructions It's crucial not to incorporate supports, lest they clog the vital channels. I recommend double-checking that your selected material is completely non-toxic. Don't hesitate to stress this precaution. With a medium-resolution setup using a 0.35 mm nozzle and 0.22 mm layer height, printing quality appears well-balanced and more than sufficient for present needs.
