UNICEF Thermometer Jar 11cm

thingiverse

UNICEF's supply catalogue is a crucial tool for procuring essential commodities to meet the needs of children and their families globally. This catalogue features a product designed specifically for use as a thermometer jar, which is made from high-quality plastic (polypropylene) that can withstand autoclaving. Autoclaving involves steam cleaning and sterilization, ensuring the jar's hygiene and effectiveness. To create this vital tool, a 3D model of the jar was developed using OpenScad software and then printed on a RepRap Athena Delta Bot printer. The initial print used PLA material, but the model can be successfully printed with polypropylene filament by adjusting the printer settings and parameters accordingly. While PLA is thought to be a viable alternative, further research is needed to confirm its suitability for this application. The following files are included on this page: an OpenScad file and a .stl file.

Key print settings: * Printer Brand: RepRap * Printer Model: Athena 3D Printer * Rafts: No * Supports: No * Resolution: Layer Height: 0.15mm * Infill: 30% was used, but can be adjusted to suit individual needs * Notes: The first layer was printed at a speed of 10mm/s, and blue painters tape was used for print bed adhesion.
