Description
A friend asked me to make him a grinder with multiple bottoms depending on how he wants to use it. So there is a bottom with holes and a catch, and two bottoms without holes for a more compact unit when carrying it around. The bottoms without holes are the same aside from the cosmetic difference. It's about an 80mm OD, but you can scale it however you want.
I found that PLA or PLA+ work best for this print.
Layer height is 0.2
20-25% infill
I used 4 wall loops, but 3 should be minimum.
You can use fuzzy skin to make the parts a bit snugger, but make it very small. Something like a 0.1/0.1 setting worked for me.
If you want your lid to look like the black one in my pictures, print it without any bottom layers, 25% 3D Honeycomb infill (or whichever design you like), 8 top layers, and make sure you use a good size brim or glue since the piece can warp a bit when the top layers get printed due to there being no layers on the bottom.
Hope you like it. I'm a real newbie at this and it was the most ambitious design I made so far.
