Vase Mode Watering Can - Office Size

<h3>How long does it take to print a watering can?&nbsp;</h3><p>There are so many awesome designed watering cans on so many platforms. They look nice and almost always work perfectly. But sometimes it takes up to a day to print them. But i am impatient.&nbsp;</p><h4>It's not a vase, is it?</h4><p>Well, you could actually put a plant inside, so why not?&nbsp;</p><p>This tiny watering can makes use of the three main features of vase mode:</p><ol><li><i>Flawless outside walls</i> - the finish of vase-mode prints is always a pleasure to look at.</li><li><i>Ridiculously fast printing time</i> - other prints are just flat like a piece of paper, when a vase mode print is already up to the half of their size.</li><li><i>Easy to waterproof</i> - and lets be honest, nobody wants a dripping can that can't hold it's liquids in.&nbsp;</li></ol><h4>Waterproof printing in just one single perimeter?&nbsp;</h4><p>Yes, thats possible. It needs a little bit of fine-tuning, but almost every printer* has the ability to do so, if the slicer is tuned right. The relevant parameters (as a starting point for tuning are):&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Higher flow rate (about 105% of your old values)&nbsp;</li><li>Wide perimeters (minimum 0.6mm, but the wider, the better if the flowrate allows it)&nbsp;</li><li>(obviously) Vase-Mode with at least 3 bottom layers</li></ul><p>Every other setting depends on your printer and material. You should inspect the preview in your slicer for possible leaks.&nbsp;<br><br>*Did not try it with a MyCusini, but I would love to print a chololate-can.&nbsp;</p><h4>What material can I print it from?&nbsp;</h4><p>Please don't print it in PEEK, it would be the most expensive indoor-gardening-tool ever made. It's possible to print it in PLA, PETG, ABS, or whatever plastic solves your needs. If you want to put it in a dishwasher it should at least be PETG, because PLA looses it's structural integrity very fast at 60°C.&nbsp;</p><p>And flexibles are also not recommended, if you want to print it full size. The water-pressure will deform the watering can and you will not have too much fun with the wiggle-can.&nbsp;</p><h4>It is resizable?&nbsp;</h4><p>Yes. And no. You may increase and decrease the X and Z dimensions in your slicer (as shown in the pictures), but this may break the integrity of the spout or handle, where it might be harder to print it waterproof. And: if you change the size in die Y dimension, it will almost certainly break the vase-mode ability to print the flat surfaces at handle and spout fused together. This might not be good.&nbsp;</p><h4>What if I want to print millions of that watering can and become a millionaire?</h4><p>This is CC0 so I don't care what you do with the model. Would be nice, if you don't try to sell the stl file itself, but even so: you are free to do with it whatever you want, that's what this license is for.&nbsp;</p>
