Parametric Cylinder

Key Parameters Guide / Customization Guide

1. Basic Dimensions (Basic Dimensions)

• top_r / bottom_r: top and bottom radii (controls whether the overall shape is cylindrical or conical)
• total_height: total height including all segments
• top_height / bottom_height: vertical transition height where top and bottom remain cylindrical
• oval_length: axial stretch length. Set to 0 for a perfect circle; greater than 0 automatically creates an aesthetically pleasing oval
• sector_angle: sector cut angle. Default 360 for a complete object; if set to 180, only half will be printed, convenient for making wall-mounted storage racks or displaying cross-sections

2. Hollow and Lid Settings (Hollow Settings)

• is_hollow: whether to enable hollow shell mode (keep enabled for making bottles or cylindrical objects)
• wall_thickness: wall thickness (default 2mm, recommended to adjust according to your nozzle diameter and desired strength)
• print_mode:
  • 0: Render all (main body + lid)
  • 1: Render main body with recess only
  • 2: Render sealing lid only
  • 3: Render hollow tube completely open at both ends
• cap_insert_tolerance: lid fit tolerance. If the lid is too tight after printing, you can slightly increase this value (e.g. 0.1 - 0.2mm) to ensure a perfect physical snap fit

🖨️ Printing Tips / Printing Tips

• Wall Thickness Matching: It is recommended to set wall_thickness as an integer multiple of your nozzle line width. For example, with a 0.4mm nozzle, set to 1.2 for 3 walls, or 1.6 for 4 walls, or the default 2.0 (5 walls)
• Supports: Normal cylinders/tapered cones printed vertically require absolutely no supports
