papered-wall-bucket

This is an inner bucket designed for Xiaomi Air Purifier 1 / 2 / 2S / 3 with 200 mm filters, used to hold air filtration materials such as activated carbon and manganese-based media. “Papered” indicates that the design is inspired by paper roll tubes. When printing the first layer with slightly flexible materials such as PLA, you will find that it can be bent and rolled into a cylindrical shape. There are many community designs that solve the same problem. Without exception, they either use a conventional one-piece print, which results in very tall prints and long printing times, or use staggered overhang perforations, which make the hole size impossible to precisely define. This project explores vertical split printing.
