T-Slot Fluid Holding Cup

thingiverse

Two T-Slot fluid cups are showcased, one in a vibrant Yellow hue and the other in a bold Red. A metal can was previously used, but it consistently slid around or fell off the mill, prompting the creation of these custom cups. To simplify the build process, the rectangular base of each cup is designed as a separate component. This allows for a smooth, flat bottom to be achieved without relying on printing supports. The two parts are then super glued together, ensuring a secure and sturdy connection. A high infill percentage was used to minimize fluid leakage through the cups. In this instance, an 80% fill rate was employed, but after several months, a small amount of leakage is still noticeable. While it's not a significant issue, future iterations may benefit from a 100% fill rate or additional sealing measures, such as applying varnish to the interior. The accompanying files include: * The Yellow cup features two components: Yellow Oil Cut and Base Red Yellow. * The Red cup consists of three components: Mill Cup Red, Brush Cap Red, and Base Red Yellow.
