Overview
Overview
These foldable tea bag baskets are perfect for the filament-conscious tea-lover! They print in under two hours, fold really simply, and are designed to be stackable.
I made the design in OnShape and there are a few options to choose from:
Single Color - both rectangular and diagonal patterns for all sizes Short basket - 2 inches long
Read the full description
Long basket - 3 inches long
Extra Long basket - 4 inches long This one will require a larger print bed than my Prusa i3 MK3 but I figured I'd make the version available for those that have larger print beds.
Dual Color - when it's folded the inside of the box will be a different color than the outside Same versions as the single color option
Printing
I printed a bunch of the different versions in several different colors of PLA on the Prusa i3 MK3. I've included the original STLs and g-code for all printing options (except the Extra Long version), but let me know if you'd like any other versions and I'd be happy to make them!
If you re-slice, I recommend the following settings as a minimum:
First layer height: 0.25mm
Layer height: 0.2mm
No skirt
My included g-code also has the following settings:
Solid infill extrusion width: 125%
Top solid infill extrusion width: 125%
Solid infill speed: 60mm/s
Top solid infill speed: 50mm/s
First layer speed: 30mm/s
To “assemble” the baskets, just insert the tabs into their respective slots and gently fold at the crease. Refer to the photos for help.
