Parametric Modern Ribbed Container

Unveil the limitless potential of your creativity with our revolutionary parametric 3D model of a sleek, modern container— a versatile masterpiece designed to seamlessly blend functionality and style! This contemporary container is not just an ordinary holder; it embodies adaptability and sophistication, making it an essential addition to any space. Whether you envision it as a handy pen holder, a charming candle holder, or a chic plant pot, this model is ready to transform with your every whim.

Key Parameters, Tailored to Your Vision:

• Inner height: Customize the inner height to suit your needs, while the total height of the container will elegantly adjust to include the specified inner height and a sturdy bottom thickness. This precision allows for perfect alignment with whatever you decide to store inside.
• Inner diameter: Sculpt the inner diameter to your exact specifications, while the total diameter will seamlessly integrate the default 5mm rib fillet and the efficient 1mm rib width. This ensures that your container maintains a sleek, balanced appearance no matter its size.
• Number of ribs: Fine-tune the number of ribs to match your aesthetic desires. Whether aiming for a minimalist look or a more elaborate design, you have the power to increase or decrease the number of ribs, achieving that perfect visual harmony.
• Bottom thickness: Ensure that your container stands the test of time by adjusting the bottom thickness. The default setting at 3mm provides a robust base, but you can tweak this parameter to meet your durability requirements.

Printing recommendations:

The model is easy to print, there are no supports needed. The model has a complex geometry with many walls, so printing time can be long. To speed up the prints (while still maintaining a good quality) I recommend these settings:

• 0.4 nozzle
• 0.28 extra draft profile (most of the geometry is straight, so this won't have an effect on looks, if you enable Adaptive Variable layer height, see next bullet point)

• Enable Adaptive Variable layer height: 

  

Advanced parameters:

Rib fillet: the radius that determines how rounded each rib will be, this will also increase the width of the rib, default 5mm
Rib width: the extra width each rib will get horizontally
Rib thickness: how thick every rib will be
Wall thickness: how thick the inner wall will be
Use custom wall height: if enabled, you can set a custom wall height. If disabled, the wall height will be equal to the height of the container.   Custom wall height: how tall the inner wall should be. Use a lower value if you want the ribs to stick out.
