Twin Pet Bowl Holder. Vase Mode 1.2mm Nozzle

thingiverse

OK These models need multi-process printing to produce properly. They are also optimized for a 1.2mm nozzle, making them incredibly strong and fast to print. The full-size model has been skinned as much as possible, but it's still too large to print on a CR10. You'll need a printer with a build volume larger than 300x300 to successfully print this design. I also have two alternative models: a "cropped" version that can be printed on a 300x300 printer (CR-10, E12, E16, U20, Sidewinder X1, and Ender 5 Plus), and a "half" version designed for smaller machines with a build volume of 200x200. The cut-out area is 4mm deep, so be sure to set your first layer height to at least 4mm. Use normal settings for the rest of the print: three or more perimeters, decent infill, and no top or bottom layers if using a 1 or 1.2mm nozzle. For the first model, use 10 solid layers (no top or bottom layers) with a vase mode setting at 4mm. If using a 0.4mm nozzle, use one perimeter only. If using a 1 or 1.2mm nozzle, you can get away with just 3 perimeters without infill. The other two models are optimized for a 1.2mm extrusion and have a simple shape that may allow you to print them with a 0.4-1.0mm nozzle by slowing down the printing speed and increasing the heat (try 25mm/s at 225c). Note that these designs are specifically intended for use as $1 pet food/water bowls, which can be found at Dollar Tree stores in the US. If you have Simplify 3D, I've included a CR-10 V2 profile factory file with a 1mm nozzle (over-extruded to 1.2mm) that should work on any 300x300-class printer with a 1mm nozzle. I've personally printed all three files and added a picture of the "cropped" version, which can be printed on a CR-10 334 class machine or anything similar. For smaller machines with a build volume of 200x200, simply print the "half" model twice.
