Small Watering Can

thingiverse

Also featured - slightly scaled up - by Angus in Maker's Muse on YouTube. I designed a small watering can for my office after getting a little fancy. It was only natural that I turned it into a vase since I'm absolutely crazy about those seamless surfaces and had an idea for incorporating a rigid grip, which ended up working incredibly well. The watering can holds around 150 ml of water, more than enough for my prized Zamioculcas, Bonsai, cacti or other succulents that are always on the brink of drying out. Of course, you can also use it as a coffee milk jug, but please make sure to print it with food-safe materials then. I always opt for concentric bottom layers when printing this design because linear infills tend to have tiny gaps at the outer edges. If your print still leaks, try increasing the extrusion multiplier slightly and/or adding more bottom layers. I'm really eager to see what you create! Printer Settings Printer: Malyan M200 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3 Notes: These settings were used for the white version in my pictures. Extruder: BDP Green-Tec white (biodegradable) Temperature: 215°/40° on BuildTak Speed: 40 mm/s Nozzle Diameter: 0.4 Bottom Layers: 3 concentric bottom layers Printing Mode: Single outline corkscrew printing mode (vase mode) Print Time: Approximately 1 hour The walls of the watering can overlap by about 0.5 mm at one spot, which adds a lot to its overall rigidity and stability, especially when it comes to the handle.
