SquircleBowl2 innovates upon the geometry of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3047912 by reducing sides from 5 to 3 and transforming flat top edges into rounded ones. A squircle is a polygon with curved sides and rounded corners, its name derived from "squared circle." This component is crafted from ten stacked vertically aligned squircled pentagons, all serving as control curves for the loft shape visible here. A short video demonstrating its design can be viewed at https://youtu.be/IXWByYuwEW8. Printing this part required 10 hours and 30 minutes with a layer height of 0.200 mm and a print speed of 100 mm/sec. It is essential to note that parts like these, regardless of their overall shape, are NOT WATERTIGHT and will LEAK if liquid is introduced into them. However, it is possible to create watertight parts by using a chemical that fuses printed loops and layers together carefully.
