Water bottle sleeve - Voss 800mL

thingiverse

Prototype sleeve designed specifically for Voss 800mL bottle use. The sleeve itself is a minimalist cylinder crafted using Blender software. With an exterior diameter of 71.9mm and an interior diameter of 71.4mm, it snugly fits around the Voss water bottle. Digital calipers measured the bottle's diameter at exactly 71.27mm. The 80mm long sleeve prints vertically for optimal build quality and covers the exterior surface with just three sections. Software tools such as Blender and Makerbot Desktop are used to design and prepare this prototype sleeve. Makerbot Desktop and Blender were the software tools employed to bring this design to life. The printer used in the production of this sleeve is a Flashforge Creator Pro. With a choice of materials available, Hatchbox Transparent White PLA 1.75mm filament was selected for its durability and finish quality. This print file works perfectly on the Flashforge Creator Pro with no need for further modification. For successful printing of the prototype sleeve, use the following settings: 1. Extruder temperature: set to 200 degrees Celsius or 210 degrees Celsius for a slightly hotter extrusion process. 2. Platform temperature: keep it at 60 degrees Celsius to maintain the ideal conditions for adhesion. 3. Print without any support material or raft. The infill percentage is irrelevant in this design, given the solid cylinder shape with an evenly spaced internal lattice of thickness .5mm. 4. If printing using Makerbot, simply click on "Move Item to Platform" after placing the sleeve file. The printer accepts the X3G file directly, allowing for straightforward printing of the sleeve sections. The result is a strong and attractive finished prototype ready for inspection and testing.
