Sip and Enjoy: Drink without residue, thanks to the drain cover filter.

Cleaning: Remove the parts, wash, dry, and reassemble.

Enjoy a pure sip every time!

3D printing settingsPrinter Type:FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printer is recommended for durability and ease of printing.SLA/DLP (Resin printers) may work but aren’t typically used for functional items like mugs.

Material:PLA: Good for prototypes, but not ideal for hot drinks.PETG: Strong, heat-resistant, and can be food-safe.ABS: Durable and heat-resistant but requires a well-ventilated space.

Layer Height:0.2 mm for a balanced finish and print time.0.1 mm if you want a finer finish on parts like the mug cap or drain cover.

Infill:Mug Body: 15-20% infill is sufficient for strength while saving material.Drain Cover: 100% infill to prevent floating when liquid is added.Mug Cap: 30-50% infill to make it durable and solid.

Wall Thickness:1.2 - 1.6 mm (3-4 walls) for added strength, especially important for the mug body.

Supports:Enabled: Supports may be needed for the handle and any overhangs within the mug.Support Placement: Choose Touching Build Plate to minimize internal cleanup.

Print Speed:40-50 mm/s for better accuracy, especially around curves and the handle.

Bed Adhesion:Brim or Raft to enhance bed adhesion, especially if printing with ABS.Heated Bed: Set to 60°C for PLA, 70-75°C for PETG, and 100°C for ABS.

Nozzle Temperature:PLA: 200-210°CPETG: 230-250°CABS: 240-250°C

Post-Processing (Optional):Sanding: Sand the mug cap and drain cover for a smoother, more polished finish.Food-Safe Coating: Apply a food-safe epoxy or sealant for extra protection if you plan to drink from the mug.
