Would love to see some of your prints on here! When I was younger my dad and I built a 3D printer, and I loved it. Since then I haven’t had the funds/time/space to get back into it but as that was like 12 years ago, I know 3D printing has gotten much higher tech.

    Can you share the STL? I would be interested in this.

    Do you have any problems with water leaking? People always warn about prints not being water tight, but I don’t know if that’s old advice or not.

      as soon as i fix a few small problems i’ll share it here :D

      the two red ones are painted with red car paint and a clearcoat, they are totally water tight, a black and a pink one are only coated with clearcoat, they don’t leak as well, but i tested them before coating and both dripped a bit at the joints… i’m correcting some parts now and will use more glue… i think that’ll fix it but i’d still recommend to use" ironing" in your slicer and clearcoating it after assembly… i didn’t let the water in the can for multiple hours, so i’m not sure yet whether water will penetrate through the plastic…
