Thing Information: "Ice Cube Maker" for 3D Printing

Name: Ice Cube Maker

Description: A simple, functional 3D model of an ice cube maker designed for printing. This mold allows you to fill it with water and place it in the freezer to create ice cubes. The model is easy to print, and the design can be scaled to create larger or smaller cubes as needed. It's important to thoroughly clean the printed mold before use to ensure it is safe for contact with food.

File Format: STL (StereoLithography), optimized for 3D printing.

Dimensions:

Length: Typically 100-150 mm (adjustable via scaling).
Width: 50-100 mm (depending on the scale).
Height: 20-40 mm, depending on how deep the ice cubes need to be.
Number of Cubes: The tray typically contains multiple cube slots (e.g., 6-12 cubes), depending on the size.
Design Features:

Ice Cube Slots: Multiple slots that can be filled with water to form ice cubes. The size and number of slots can vary based on scaling.
Flat Base: Ensures stability when placed in the freezer to avoid spilling water.
Smooth Interior: Designed to make it easy to pop out the ice cubes once frozen.
Material Compatibility: PLA, PETG, or ABS can be used. For safety, PETG is recommended for items intended to come into contact with food or liquids, as it is more resistant to moisture and temperature changes.

Intended Use: Perfect for creating ice cubes in a custom shape or size. This tray is designed for practical use in home freezers to make ice cubes for beverages or cooling purposes. Ideal for use at home, parties, or in creative kitchen projects.

Customizability: You can use the Scale feature in slicer software to adjust the size of the tray and the cubes. This flexibility allows you to create larger or smaller cubes depending on your preferences.

Notes: The STL file is ready for slicing. Adjust the size using the Scale tool in slicer software like Cura. After printing, ensure the tray is thoroughly cleaned before use to remove any debris or residues from the printing process. A low to medium infill (around 10-20%) is recommended to keep the tray sturdy but lightweight. Supports are generally not needed unless the design contains overhangs.
