Description
This is entirely chuyskywalker's work, I'm just sharing an optimized 3MF built in Bambu Studio 1.7.3.50. I love these containers and periodically use them to test new filaments on so wanted to share my optimizations.
There are three plates - one that will print two containers (one at a time by object), a plate with just a single container, then one that has four container's worth all spread out (printed by layer).
The biggest difference is the total re-working of walls and infill patterns.
I cut the global settings back to more standard settings (four walls, four top and three bottom shells, etc) and then used cylindrical modifiers inside the canisters to re-create the original honeycomb patterns.
This results in a stronger part using only 3g more material (from 52g to 55g) but saving 19% print time (1h23m to 1h7m). It could be faster if you chose a different global infill pattern, but I was most recently printing with a "transparent" Sunlu PLA (don't waste your money) and wanted to see the larger honeycomb structure inside the handles.
