As a by-product of another design I have been working on, I created a pumpkin and halfway through that, I thought… hey this would be a decent treat bowl. And, here it is…
The design is about 240mm across which is a fair-sized print. At that size, it will hold about 150 small candy bars. But you can scale it up or down depending on your printer size and your needs.
I would be cautious to scale it up too much though as the print duration will start to get significant (already about 10 hours on my BambuLab X1). And, I think at 240mm it is already big enough!
The bowl itself has a smooth inside surface which hides a fairly thick wall structure so I suggest printing with 2 lines width walls and about 15% infill is a nice strength-to-weight ratio.
Printing
This pumpkin bowl does not require much functional strength therefore your default slicer settings should work well. I do not recommend using vase mode as that will be too weak.
This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.2mm layer height and the following settings:
- Wall Line Count (minimum) = 2 ( 2 x 0.4mm = 0.8mm walls )
- Top & Bottom Layer Count (minimum) = 3 ( 3 x 0.2mm = 0.6mm top & bottom )
- Infill = 15%, Cubic
- Ironing = No
- Support = None required
- Brim = NO
- MATERIAL: PLA
Assembly Notes
No assembly or post-print processing is required.
