3D model description

Cutting oil can that does not spill the cutting fluid even when turned UPSIDE DOWN.

Features:

  1. tapered center bore is designed to keep the acid brush centered

  2. slope and holes around the center bore collect the oil and send it back to the reservoir

  3. the lip around the lid for locating it properly over the base

  4. the center pipe has 2 holes at the bottom for oil to maintain the same level inside and outside of the pipe

  5. max fill line at the base, if filled to this level even turning the can upside down results in no oil spill

This is a spill-proof oil can for cutting oil application mostly on a drill press or lathe.

Slow down the print speed to 20mm/s.

The main body must be printed in a vase mode with 0.3mm layer height and flow rate bumped to 1.3 (130%), this will ensure water-tight print.

The top has to be printed normally with 1.3 (130%) flow rate with 0.1mm layer height.

Print with PLA then glue the lid to the base using epoxy adhesive, superglue is not oil resistant from my experience.
