Today I 3D printed this flower pot that will hold a lot of water. How do we make this watertight? Well, make sure you have enough perimeters, at least two.
Learn how to 3D print watertight vases and pots by adjusting perimeters and infill overlap for leak-proof results.
Key Takeaways
- Use at least two perimeters when 3D printing watertight containers.
- Increase infill/perimeters overlap to 40% or higher for better plastic bonding.
- Proper slicer settings can make 3D printed pots fully watertight.
- Simple parameter adjustments can significantly improve print functionality.
- Sponsorship by PCBWay highlights industry collaboration.
Summary
- The video demonstrates 3D printing a flower pot designed to hold water without leaking.
- It emphasizes the importance of having at least two perimeters in the print settings.
- Increasing the infill/perimeters overlap from 10% to around 40% or more helps the plastic bond better.
- This adjustment ensures the pot becomes watertight by improving layer adhesion.
- The creator confirms the pot does not leak water after applying these settings.
- The video is sponsored by PCBWay, a manufacturing service provider.
- Tips focus on practical slicer setting changes to improve print quality for functional objects.
- The content is concise and targeted at 3D printing enthusiasts looking to print functional containers.
