3D printed overflow

[ashburn2k]

I have two prototype overflow that i made for my frag tank now no longer needed, instead of throwing them away, wanted to check if anyone wants to use it for their tank. both in orange PETG and 3" hole for drain.

smaller one is 10x7 bigger one is 8x6.5

Pick up in San Pablo

Thanks, this is perfect, I would like the orange 8x6.5, I can collect it from you during Frag Swap 3/3 if you are coming in.

sorry i won’t be at the swap, you can arrange whoever going to pick it up form me

Ok, let me DM you to co-ordinate pick up.

OT: what printer and what settings did you use? I tried this in the past, but gave up because I couldn't get it watertight, no matter how many walls I used. I'm assuming my P1S could do it now though.

i use mix of p1s and x1c, to archive watertight print, you need to make wall overlap at least 90% and at least 4 layers of wall to begin with, also thicker infill. i've make an overflowbox and hasn't leaked since i set my tank up.

Off topic, but anyone have recommendations on how to learn about making models/designs for 3d printing? My 8 year old wants to learn. Not sure where to start

There's facilities/clubs all over the bay area. Where do you live? I bet there is something local to you for her.

Sf. No clue where to start looking even

i learned most of 3D modeling online with youtube.

Start with this guy.

I wish my 9 year old would be interested doing this with me.. alas.. he has his focus else where. what sparked his interest?

Oooh SF, there should be something up there, but damn, I cannot find it. A few years ago the company I worked for donated to some ed program in SF dealing with 3D printing.

I'd contact these guys and ask them if they know of any programs for kids: https://www.humanmade.org/

I asked her if she knew what it was and we watched a couple videos. We want to make a return spout for a recirculating dog water bowl

I don’t know if this helps. But when I was 3D printing. I tried to get my son into it too. We used thingiverse and https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura/. Cura, you can design stuff. If you sign up with a child account I think it was free. It’s been a long time tho.
