Thanks for the excellent camera shots of that 3d print! I was wondering about the quality of your 3d prints. To me, this "quality" is unacceptable to sell professionally and of beginner's quality. This is "dollar store" quality, at most! Can you do perfect 3d prints as Prusa and BambuLab usually do? Can this print be greatly improved by using proper support or another solution? Nice video, as always. 👍
I don't think the quality is all that bad as in the machine not being well tuned, where I think it can be improved on is in the design so that you don't have the steep overhangs that cause that deformation at the top. They can also reduce the layer lines down to something like .16mm but then that would take a lot more time. Personally I would redesign it so it doesnt have steep overhangs but still has that organic flow. There is a fine balance between printing speed and quality when it comes to profitability. Adjusting the layer heights also increases material usage which eat into profits. Its all a fine balance between how long a print takes, the cost, and if its aesthetically pleasing enough for someone to purchase. The bambu machine can achieve great results but they are also problematic and are not open source, if you have a 30 printer farm with bambu labs, maintenance and machine cost will be very high which puts you at a disadvantage vs other farms that make similar products with open source/cheaper hardware that can produce similar quality.
This is the best solution. The way to go about it, that we have reccomended to the designer, is to change it to an oval shape, so that there is not the large overhang at the top that causes the deformation in the supported area. They can also change the angle of the opening in order to allow the bowl to sit a bit more vertically so that the overhang essentially disappears.
this is a very creative solutions but it definitely felt like a first draft kind of situation the overhang residue is ok for a hobby project but i definitely won't appreciate it if i store bought it and maybe it's my eye tricking me but the cavity for the shell bin is bigger than the nut bowl itself which feels a bit counter intuitive overall, a fun showcase though, definitely gives ideas
I would have changed the design on the internal so that I could print it flat on the buildplate and not have that nasty overhanging quality, but that is out of your teams control.
Good for 300 grams of pistachios? Assuming they are of an average size, 100 grams of that will be the shells, leaving us with net 200 grams. In a table of 5, each person gets 40 grams, an amount so low that it wouldn’t last 10 minutes. Also, due to its design, every person must be sitting in 1 direction or else the shell area is not accessible.
Change the opening angle slightly, flip it opening up and print it in vase mode, where your going off that over hang not up it.. will be smoother.
There should be an anti-chafing powder called “Nut Dust”

Maybe adjustable layer heights in the slicer and generally smaller layer heights in the 1st place.
Possible painting it later.
