I remember at the beginning of my printing adventure, I printed various vases. Unfortunately, due to the lack of water resistance, they presented only aesthetic value. Their practical use was not possible. Some time, 3d printing technology has gone ahead. I decided to bite again about waterproof prints. This time with the success of 🙂
The recipe for successful waterproof 3D prints is as follows:
- selecting the appropriate model, where the wall will be sufficiently thick and reasonably equal;
- setting 3-4 strokes for faces;
- raise the flow rate by 5-10%;
- increase the temperature of the filament to the upper limits of the recommended temperature by the manufacturer;
- setting the layer height to 0.2 mm;
