Can of Worms

thingiverse

This is literary a can of worms (ok, it's a box made for larvae really). We needed a suitable container to store food for our bearded dragons and the ones we had was either too big or too small. This one is just perfect (and can be resized if needed). I initially made the walls thinner (1.2 mm == 3 layers with a standard 0.4 mm nozzle) but the walls kept bulging so I had to increase the thickness to 1.6 mm which equals 4 layers. What Simplify3D does is to make an inner and an outer layer and then fill the middle with a zigzag pattern. This seems to prevent the walls from bulging when I print with PETG. The lid has vents on top as well on the sides, so storing one CoW on top of another should work without hampering ventilation. *Beware: Some creepy crawlers may take advantage of slightly rough 3D printed surfaces.*
