Vintage Squirt Cooler

thingiverse

This vintage-style cooler was crafted as a Christmas present for a friend to give to another fellow collector who shares his passion. Printer Settings: * Printer: Folgertech Prusa 2020 i3 * Rafts: None * Supports: Not required * Resolution: Achieved at .3mm or better * Infill: Set to 20% for optimal results Notes: This vintage cooler was printed with a layer height of .3mm, but the detailed logo and drain cap will print best at .1-.2mm resolution. Choose to print this model either upright or on its back based on how well your top layers turn out. The post-printing process is simple - tie a ribbon through the handle and hang it from the tree, and consider painting the raised letters red for an authentic Squirt logo look. Design Origin: This design was born from my friend's desire to create a unique gift for his fellow collector. I used Fusion360 to design the model, converted a raster Squirt logo to SVG with Inkscape, and then embossed it onto the cooler. Unfortunately, making the folding carry handle proved tricky, so it had to be removed to achieve the perfect appearance.
