My buddy has a cold plunge and this filter started cracking. After looking at it you can tell it's definitely 3d printed (and well)
On the left you can see my first attempt. I just cut rectangular holes in CAD and it's pretty close but not pretty. Printed in PETG on a K1 Max
Is there a way to do this in the slicer instead? I played around with 0 walls and different infill types but that didn't work out
~~Tangent: That sounds like a bad idea for food safety. And I'm referring to both the original and the recreation. If it were for myself, I would buy something made of metal.~~ edit: Thought it was a coffee thing, disregard.
On topic: Could you clean up the holes with a hot needle and some patience? PETG tends to be very stringy, which is probably the reason the holes are not well defined. Maybe try tuning your printer to minimise stringing?
Oh, my bad, I thought it was like a coffee thing :/
