Description

I've created two different versions of this european style army spare can:

1 - The spare can as one part (e.g. use it for r/c cars or trucks)

2 - The spare can in 3 pieces: This model prints hollow and you can put stuff into it. I designed it originally to put some money in it for a youngster who just obtained his driver licence. This made a perfect birthday gift for the first refill of the car. :-). I've created a separate joint to make the print nice and easy and avoid unnecessary support structures. Glue the joint into the top part.

I've scaled down the one you can see in the pics for the sake of saving printing time. That's the only reason why it looks a bit rough. The original one is double the size and looks really nice when printed. A shame that i forgot to take some pictures. I printed the scaled version in PLA, the large one has been printed in PETG.

I printed supports at the handles only (support enforcer with Prusa Slicer) on the large can. It works like a charme. On the 50% version shown in the pics i didn't print any supports.

 

If you like this design, please post your print with a picture.
