Can somebody help me with calculations for volume designs? i have an idea for cocktails but i need to make shapes to contain a certain volume in millilitre / Ounce…
i was thinking about a taper… for example
http://thingiverse-rerender.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/68/66/89/92/2f/shotglass_preview_featured.jpg is a idea of the design but with specific volume on a certain level of filling… for example… print like that but with a line in the inside representing 15 ml and other print with same OD and same flat bottem… but height beeing the adjustment for example a 30ml volume to that inside line
Probably cones/frustrums, if it’s cocktails.
- Google “cone volume formula”
- Calculate volume for full cone extended from your shape
- Calculate volume for just the extended part
- Subtract.
You can figure out the height for whatever measurement line you want from there.
BTW: No filament, nor extruder is currently rated as “food safe”.
@Ashley_Webster Nice! That’s much easier!
CAD tools can give you those numbers also. You may have to put an end on the container.
