Variable Height Fast-Printing Screw-Top Desiccant Container (v2) No lid

prusaprinters

I wanted different heights for the different sizes of spools that I have. So I cut the original base into 3 parts using the PrusaSlicer cut tool and saved the 3 parts out as individual stl files.Body_Base.stl is the bottom 7mm of the body of the container.Body_Middle.stl is an 8mm slice of the middle that contains a single iteration of the pattern of notches.Body_Threads.stl is an 8mm slice that includes the 7mm worth of threads plus the 1mm cylinder part between the top of the notches and the threads.I then built up 7 different heights consisting of the base, threads, and an increasing number of the middle portions from 1 to 7. I named the 3mf files based on the estimated full height of the container with lid (estimating an additional 1mm of height for the lid once screwed on). My tallest model should equal the height of the original.I also noticed that the original model the holes in the bottom of the container body were deeper than the number of bottom layers in the original 3mf file, so for each of my assemblies I increased the number of bottom layers to 7 (assuming a 0.3mm layer height for the body of the container).I did not include the lids for these, so to use my models with lids:Load the .3mf file from the original “Improved Fast-Printing Screw-Top Desiccant Container (v2)”, or whatever 3mf file that you've come up with for your own preferred print, filament, and printer settings.Add my .3mf file of the desired height using the Import tool (Ctrl-I or the top/left toolbar button). The bottom layer count and layer-height based change to 0.15mm layer thickness for the threads should come in with the imported object.Change the x/y coordinates of the newly imported object to the object you want to replace.Delete the object you want to replace.Slice and verify that everything looks good.Profit?EDIT 2024-02-10 - I finally got around to printing these using ColorFabb HT clear on my enclosed MK4. The clear filament shows the color changing desiccant well. The 48mm variant is on the scale, showing that size holds about 40g of (dry) desiccant. The newly added gcode files are what I used on my MK4. Remember, you can import settings from gcodes into PrusaSlicer if you want to see all the details of my profiles. I used variable layer heights (which I doubt will load from gcodes) to have thick layers on the sides of the body for faster printing, but still have thin layers on the threads (otherwise the threads won't print properly). I also replaced all the 3mf files with what I used to generate the gcodes.
