Lots of calibration test including a 20mm hollow cube.

(by people i mean my friend who doesnt know what he is talking about)

i use 3d max to model.. im good at sculpting but i dont know all the terms and settings and "holes" and whatever triangles lol it is a lot to be confused about smile

nope and i dont have a calibration cube file.. or even what to do if i had one...i dont really know much about extrusion multiplier, etc.

im actually thinking about abandoning this print and trying to turn that bath bowl into a mold so i can make a clay bird bath... but i suck at 3d modeling... it was hard enough to make that thing!! i would not even begin to know how to turn this into a functioning mold lol

Hang in there with the CAD...It may seem daunting when you're starting out, but soon you'll be able to pre-think your designs and the steps to take in order to create them.  I only really started about 2 years ago; I'm certainly no guru, but the STL I posted took only about 5 min...

yes, no support the inside. i dont mind if the last 10 layers are solid towards the top if this would help the peak of it to print better.

I think that changing the infill to 1 might help those top layers stick together; descending diameter circular layers can cause stress and separation...

Another idea for a BirdBath...(It may look more like an ashtray, I never said I was an artist LOL.

Oh well...used .3 layer height; no cooling...guess I should have cooled it a bit!  Otherwise it sliced fairly well.  What is the reason you desire no infill vs solid infill?



I was actually looking to print this as a mini bird bath for the humming birds around the house. so i need no infill

Do you mean no support vs no infill?
