I designed this watering can for my son to go with his garden set. Most of the water cans that I saw were not functional or required multiple pieces, so I made it to be printed without supports on the Bambulab X1 and require no assembly. The "large water can" file is almost maxed on the X1's print bed. I printed it in regular PLA and it seems to be even stronger than I originally thought. &nbsp;I recommend printing with 10% infill (rectilinear) and 4 walls for a better water-tight seal. You could go down to 2-3 walls to save on filament but I wanted it to hold up to a lot of toddler wear and tear. I've added internal structures into the handle and a rib inside the watering can to help support the handle and weight of the water.

I designed two sizes: a Large Heart of Hearts and a Small Heart of Hearts.&nbsp;I would recommend starting with the small heart (which takes about an hour and a half) and then try the large heart. I found the small heart printed great on my A1 with all the ‘mini’ hearts sticking nicely during print and moving freely within the print afterwards. Just in case you print it and the ‘mini’ hearts are hard to move (or stuck/fused) - I also designed a second file for each size that has more tolerance (+.1mm tolerance).&nbsp;So in my print profile you will find:Plate #1: Small Heart of HeartsPlate #2: Small Heart of Hearts (+.1mm tolerance)Plate #3: Large Heart of HeartsPlate #4: Large Heart of Hearts (+.1mm tolerance)&nbsp;For the Large Heart I would recommend pre-treating the print bed with a glue stick (or hair spray) to ensure good adhesion - particularly for the ‘mini’ hearts inside the main heart. There are 51 ‘mini’ hearts and I found when I didn’t use a glue stick, some of my prints would have one or two mini hearts that would become loose before the print was done (which wasn’t catastrophic, just gave them a little rougher finish). Using a glue stick solved that problem for me:)&nbsp;&nbsp;3D PRINTING SETTINGSLayer Height 0.2mmPLA works great15-20% InfillNo supportsDimensions of Large Heart: 3.75 in. x 3.5 inDimensions of Small Heart: 2.5 in. x 2.25 in.&nbsp;These are a lot of fun to play with and I think make great little Valentine’s Day gifts ❤️&nbsp;Have fun printing!

<h3>TL;DR</h3><ul><li>Faster print and less manual work, achieved by tweaking the plates and slicer settings.</li><li>Longer drawers, utilizing the full 256mm size of the print bed.</li><li>Magnets in drawers/rails for added awesomeness!</li><li>Manual supports already added on the print profile on the correct places.</li><li>Print & assembly quite self explanatory.</li><li>Total height (with the AMS lid open) just under 21in or about 53,5cm.</li><li>Compatible with the original <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/75221#profileId-90851" rel="nofollow noopener">AMS Stand</a>! If you have already printed that, just print the longer rails and drawers from this!</li><li>Check out also the <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/172033#profileId-188868" rel="nofollow noopener">Gridfinity drawers</a>!</li></ul><h3>Why?</h3>I was looking for a storage solution for all of my 3D printing tools, bits, and pieces which were laying around just somewhere near the printer, when I ran into <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/75221#profileId-90851" rel="nofollow noopener">this awesome AMS Stand</a> by <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/u/4281799844" rel="nofollow noopener">PS11-Print</a> (btw. all the credit should go to them, my contribution is rather minimal in comparison). First of all I noticed that the existing print profiles were rather slow and I was able to shave hours off the total printing time by combining items to same plates and making a few setting tweaks.I also think that a couple of small supports under the Stand left/right/center pieces are quite mandatory, because otherwise sagging is extremely likely and the X-connector pieces won't fit properly. I added these supports manually, and included in the print profile. There might be some additional sagging on higher layers of these same pieces, but those are just visual and don't affect the functionality. Other pieces print fine without supports.&nbsp;After some printing (and to my great dismay I might add) I noticed that my favourite caliper didn't fit into the drawers! I'm not sure why the drawers were originally designed to be 236.25mm long, but I resized them to the maximum size which still fits the bed of the Bambu Lab printers; 256mm. I also made the corresponding modifications to the rails (aka. "Connector ledge" pieces). Magnets are just plain fun so while I was at it, I also added some holes for magnets! With the magnets, the drawers snap satisfyingly in place and stay in place even despite shaking from the AMS/printer.<h3>What to print?</h3>When printing this you will need the following:<ul><li>Plate 1 - Stands (x1)</li><li>Plate 2 - Walls x2</li><li>Plate 3 - Connectors (x1)</li><li>Plate 4 - X-connector x2</li><li>Plate 5 - 40mm drawer x4</li><li>Plate 6 - 30mm drawer x2</li><li>Plate 7 - Bambu logos (x1)</li></ul>The last plate is optional in regards to the functionality, and needs to be glued on. Personally I hate playing with super glue, but in this case it's rather quick, clean and nice improvement to the appearance of the drawers. A lot of other additional parts and accessories are available in the <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/75221#profileId-90851" rel="nofollow noopener">original model</a> and the other remixes; check also them out!&nbsp;I used Bambu PLA Basic Green and Bambu PLA Basic Black for the structural parts and SUNLU Matte PLA Back for the drawers… but that was just because I happened to have those at hand. Anything else will probably work just as well.<h3>Magnets?</h3>The print profile includes pauses for the magnets on the plates 3, 5, and 6 at the appropriate layers. In case you don't care about the magnets, just skip this paragraph and ignore/remove the pauses from plates 3, 5, 6. The holes are mainly designed for 10x1mm disk magnets, but there is some extra space, since I have noticed that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B0BZ45QB3Y" rel="nofollow noopener">some</a> of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B082Z8PV1G" rel="nofollow noopener">disk magnets</a> from Amazon aren't always exactly the same size as advertised. I didn't have any issues with the magnets flying out and/or being attracted to the nozzle/print head, but feel free to use a dab of super glue when in doubt… by the very least it'll keep the magnets from rattling inside the prints. One should however pay close attention to the direction of the magnets. The models are positioned in the print profile so that the magnets will have the correction orientation as long as they are slotted in the same way for every hole; meaning that you should for example face the south of each magnet always towards the front of the printer. Probably easiest to achieve if you first put the magnets in a single pile, mark for example a plus-sign on the topmost magnet, keep that side always faced towards yourself and place the magnets to the holes of the prints from the opposite end of the pile. Just make sure not to accidentally place the magnets inside the infills.<h3>Update 5/2/2024</h3>Added a lip to the front of the 40mm drawers so that the gap between the drawers is a bit smaller and the final look of the stand as a whole is a bit nicer.Also published <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/172033#profileId-188868" rel="nofollow noopener">Gridfinity support for the AMS Stand drawers</a>, check it out for further organizing needs!
