Light weight dirt and rocks sieve by Ferro_Giconi

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Version 1 is made of scrap 2x4 wood and metal mesh so there is no STL.
Version 2 is a size I chose to print easily on an Ender 3. The mesh for version 2 prints right side up and should be put into the sieve in the orientation it is in the file, with the lip facing up. Version 2 also has holes in the side for easy handle attachment with M3 bolts, should you decide to design your own handle. I never did, because I went on to design version 3 after deciding version 2 was a little too big for one handed use.
Version 3 is smaller and much easier to use one handed with more options for how to hold it. The mesh is a slightly fancier design that is designed to print more easily with less chance of the flexible TPU skipping out of the extruder due to over-pressure in the nozzle. It has a lip to be held into the sieve better. This mesh prints upside down, so you will need to flip it after printing so the lip is on the bottom.
Mesh print settings, version 2 and 3
material: TPU, 95A durometer or higher (I recommend 98A)
Layer height: 0.2 to 0.28mm
Walls assuming 0.4mm nozzle: 2
Infill: It doesn't matter what you use but I used 25%
Supports: OFF
Frame print settings, version 2
Material: PETG, ABS, PLA, or anything else that is rigid
Layer height: anything you want.
Walls assuming 0.4mm nozzle: 3
Infill: 5-10% (just enough to keep the frame rigid, while avoiding making the sieve too heavy for one handed use)
Supports: OFF
Frame print settings, version 3
Same as version 2 but supports ON under the X at the bottom. This makes it easier to remove from the build plate without damaging the X that supports the mesh.
