Model Overview & Print Notes

#BEACHXCULTS Description: This 3D model is a handy accessory designed for pet owners who love taking their dogs to the beach. It is an adjustable holder that securely attaches to any standard beach umbrella pole thanks to its custom V-shaped adjustment design and a single tightening screw. Its main purpose is to keep your dog's food or water bowl elevated, completely preventing sand from ruining their meals or water. Key Features: Anti-Sand Design: By keeping the bowl raised off the ground, the water stays clean, fresh, and free from sand blown by the wind or kicked up by your pet. Rear Hole for Used Waste Bags: Features a dedicated hole on the back designed specifically to hold a used pet waste bag, preventing it from being left scattered around the beach. Utility Slots / Small Holes: Includes smaller holes on the sides perfectly suited for hanging personal belongings such as keys, sunglasses, or carabiners. Built-in Screw Mechanism: It features a single integrated 3D-printed plastic screw, allowing you to tighten and adjust the mount directly to different pole diameters without needing extra hardware or additional clamp pieces. Compatibility: The main ring is perfectly sized to hold most standard collapsible silicone travel dog bowls available on the market. ## 3D Printing Settings Recommended 3D Printing Settings (My Setup): Printer used: Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo. Nozzle: 0.4 mm. Infill: 5% (Set at 5% infill, it provides the perfect balance between structural strength and lightness, saving a lot of filament and significantly speeding up the print). Recommended Material: While PLA works, PETG or ASA is highly recommended for beach use under direct sunlight, as they handle high temperatures and UV rays much better without warping. Walls (Perimeters): At least 3 or 4 wall lines to ensure great structural rigidity for the main body and the screw thread under tension. Orientation & Supports (Main Mount): Place the model flat on the side with the largest surface area contacting the print bed. When printed in this orientation, you only need to apply supports on the top section, specifically around the V-shaped clamping area. Screw Orientation: The screw must be oriented horizontally on the print bed, as shown in the attached project image, to ensure maximum thread durability and strength. Print Time: Around 3.5 hours. Filament Used: Approximately 75 grams.
