Experimental Printed Base for 57mm Snap Cap

thingiverse

This is a developed 3d printed model of the top end of a standard 57 mm spray can (Sure Deoderant in this case). Note the matching mating snap on cap. The purpose of the design was to resolve some 3d printed design and sizing issues which would allow a printed base object to accept this style snap cap. Since there are many standard sizes for these style caps other caps of a different size and snap design will require a variant. Instructions This particular model was designed from scratch in Solidworks 2013 and reflects only the top part of the can. The modle was then printed on an Ordbot Hadron Printer in ABS with a modified QU-BD stepstruder. It was printed using a 1.75 mm ABS filament with a layer thickness of .2 mm (200 microns) and an 85% fill factor with scaffolding support turned off. ABS Printing was performed at 235C on clear Monokote film over a heated glass bed at 110C for the first layer and 100C for all subsequent layers. Aquanet Extra Super Hold was sprayed on the Monokote to insure stick down. I've had no ABS stick down issues since I began using the above technique.
