Last crawled date: 3 years ago

UNICEF's supply catalogue is used to acquire commodities to respond to the needs of children and their families worldwide. In this catalogue, there is a product for use as a thermometer jar. In the catalogue, it is specified what the jar is made out of, the dimensions of the jar, and what the jar needs to be capable of. In the catalogue, it specifies that the jar needs to be made of plastic (polypropylene) and be able to be autoclavable, which means it needs to have the ability to be steam cleaned and sterilized. Following the dimension guidelines set in the catalogue, a 3D model of a jar was created using OpenScad and then printed used a RepRap Athena Delta Bot printer. The jar was printed using PLA, however the model can be printed using polypropylene filament if the proper adjustments are made to the printer and print parameters. It is thought that PLA is also capable of being a viable material for this jar, however more research in this area is needed.
Included on this page is the OpenScad file along with the .stl file.
