3D model descriptionThis 3D model of the iconic Kelp Shake bottle from SpongeBob SquarePants is not only a detailed and functional design but is also ready for immediate use. It comes in both .OBJ and .STL file formats, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of 3D modeling and slicing software. The package includes one full model, optimized for easy 3D printing, with no additional assembly required post-print.
The model is designed to be both visually accurate and fully functional, with features such as a removable lid and straw, making it perfect for real-world use as a drink container. The file is print-ready, meaning it's been carefully prepared for seamless 3D printing, ensuring smooth edges and stability. Whether you're printing it for cosplay, as a collector's item, or as a functional novelty drink bottle, this design is a great addition to any SpongeBob fan's collection!
3D printing settingsMaterial:Filament Type: PLA, PETG, or ABS (PLA is recommended for ease of use and smooth surface)Color: Translucent green (for bottle), bright yellow (label), and red (text)Infill: 10%–20% (for lightweight but sturdy print)
Layer Height:Layer Thickness: 0.2 mm (for balance between detail and print speed)Initial Layer: 0.3 mm (for better bed adhesion)Wall and Top/Bottom Thickness:Wall Line Count: 3 (for sturdy outer shell)Top/Bottom Thickness: 1.2 mm
Nozzle Size:Nozzle Diameter: 0.4 mm (standard)
Print Speed:Print Speed: 50 mm/s (reduce to 30 mm/s for detailed parts like the label)First Layer Speed: 20 mm/s (for better adhesion)
Supports:Supports: Yes (for the straw, lid overhang, and under the bottle's round sections)Support Overhang Angle: 50°Type: Tree or GridRaft/Brim: Brim (to prevent warping, especially for the wide base)
Bed Adhesion:Build Plate Adhesion Type: Brim (helps with adhesion for larger parts like the base)Bed Temperature: 60°C for PLA, 80°C for ABS
Extruder Temperature:PLA: 200–210°CABS: 230–240°CPETG: 230–250°C
Cooling:Fan Speed: 100% after the first few layers (for PLA and PETG)
For ABS: Turn off cooling fans (prevents warping)
Post-Processing:
Sanding/Painting: If you wish to replicate the look from the image, use translucent green paint for the bottle and acrylic paint for the red and yellow details on the label.
Model Preparation:
Orientation: Print the bottle base upside down for better support and stability.
Lid and Straw: Print separately for precision and easier post-processing.
