Can anyone here print a 5gal bucket? Ok so I am not actually trying to print a whole bucket. Just a lid with some modifications. I am looking at making a vacuum with a dust separator built into the lid. I could build this by hand but I want to make it printable so others can do this too. The whole assembly should be no more then 12 inches tall. Can be printed in nested segments if height is too tall. Also diameter doesn’t have to be the almost 12 inches of a standard 5gal bucket, just need about 10 inches in diameter. Anyone interested?
Try a hole saw with 3D printed parts to screw together from other sides of the hole. Shorter prints are better prints.
Maybe this is a very stupid solution but you could have a look at the shape of the concrete segments which are used by rail and highway tunnel constructors in continuous tunnel bore?
There is a printer out there with a 12x16x10 build volume that could print your project with the 14" Z height upgrade. They are available and shipping now and you get a package discount when purchased together so you don’t end up with an extra set of 10" steppers, rods, and vertical supports.
If you can wait two or three weeks I might take a crack at it for you.
