    Please Note:

         Most 3D printing materials are not considered "food safe". The items in "the Teahouses" project are designed to not physically come into direct contact with food. Please keep tea, sugar/sweeteners, and any other food item in their respective packaging when storing in 3D printed parts. The grooves in between layers can become a collecting point for bacteria. If you intend to place food directly on 3D printed items be sure use material that can handle heat and to coat your prints in a "food safe" epoxy resin. You can also choose to line the items with a food safe material such as parchment paper. Higher temperature filaments are recommended should you desire to put cups with "hot" beverages on coasters/saucers.

    What are 3MF files?

         3MF files are a type of 3d model file that allows components to be kept as separate objects, making them easier to color the various pieces when using a multi-material/color printer.

    General 3D Print Settings

    How large does my printer need to be?

    The models for "The Teahouse" will fit on an Prusa mini printer with a build volume of 180mm x 180mm x 180mm.

    • Infill:10-15%
    • Shells: 3

    Can I use a Resin style printer?

       That really depend on you and your resin printer. Many of the pieces are small enough to print on a small / medium format Resin printer. However, they are also designed with FDM printing in mind, and have not been tested on a Resin printer.

    There are also places you can use a 3D printer to print stuff. Check with your local Library, Maker Space, School or College. Often you can just pay for the cost of filament.

    @Nikolas, yes, that is what it means. The various colored components are broken into separate pieces for easy coloring with multi-material printers.

    Are the 3mf files referenced here indicate they are already broken into pieces for multicolor printing?
