Print preparation:
Make sure that your print bed is clean and grease-free and use a quality brand, dry filament. I recommend you install a 0.6mm nozzle on a H2D / A1 / P1 / X1 to speed-up the printing process. Of course, if you want you can still use a 0.4mm nozzle.
Print settings:
With a 0.6mm nozzle use the 0.3mm standard settings for everything. Set your slicer to 4 walls, 5 tops and 4 bottoms. 10% gyroid infill should be enough. Support is not necessary.
I added three print profiles to cover most possible printing scenarios. Take a look at them for more details.
Leakage:
3D prints do not need to be leakproof. I designed this watering can as leakproof as possible, but depending on your filament, the settings and pure luck the can might still leak a little bit. There are three ways to deal with leaking prints.
- Ignore it
It is a watering can, so a little drip here and there does not do any harm. Print the optional drip tray to be save.
- Coat the inside
Use a spray can with simple clear coat and generously spray the inside of the watering can. This will close all pores.
Alternatively you can use Epoxy and brush the inside.
- Use heat
Fill the watering can to the max and wait a few minutes. Now small leakages are visible. Empty the water and apply heat for a very (!) short time to the position where the leakage was. Apply some mild pressure with you finger to close the pore. Don't burn yourself!
