Watering can

A beautiful and robust watering can – designed to be as big as possible for a regular 3D-printer. By printing it 45 degrees rotated, the z-height is used more efficiently while adding to stability due to bigger layers on the handle.

Versions included
1,3L; 1,0L; 0,7L; 0,5L
Please don’t scale the file down on your own since the wall- and handle thickness will be reduced and could cause the can to leak.

Watertight printing - If you have a well set up machine it comes automatically - Otherwise here are some tips: Increase your wall count (at least 3), level your bed nicely, decrease print speed, increase layer height (at least 0.2mm), check your seam quality, calibrate your e-steps and fine tune your retraction settings to make sure no holes appear after a layer change.
