Description
🇬🇧 Print Settings (Practical & Tested)
This nutcracker does not need to be a solid block of plastic.
In practice, the following settings work perfectly:
Material
PLA is fully sufficient
PETG / ABS also work
Settings
50% infill
3–4 perimeters (walls)
0.2 mm layer height
Good layer adhesion is more important than extremely high infill
Supports
Tree supports
Maximum branch angle: 35°
This is sufficient for clean support where needed.
With PLA at 50% infill it cracks without issues:
✔ Large hazelnuts
✔ Walnuts
Almonds are not suitable for this design.
