How to 3D Model a Spray Bottle
SelfCAD is an all-in-one software that has tools for modeling, sculpting, and slicing, making it great for 3D design and printing. Its simple interface allows anyone, no matter their skill level, to use it easily. In this section, we are looking at how you can use the 3D primitives and other unique tools like shape generator in SelfCAD to design a spray bottle. You can check out the interactive tutorial to learn how to do it. In summary, start by launching SelfCAD and open the workspace:
The next step is creating the basic foundation. Select the Shape from the Generators category:
Set the parameters of the Shape as shown:
Click + button to add a new segment. Set the Radius to 30 and the Height to 150:
Click + button again to add a segment. Set the Height to 20:
Click + button and add another segment. Set the top Radius to 20 and Height to 10:
Add another segment, and set the Height to 20:
Add a segment again and set the radius to 10:
Tick the check mark to finalize the shape generator. Select Shape Generator from the 3D Shapes category and set the parameters as shown:
Set the rotation and the position as shown:
Tick the check mark to finalize the shape. Select a Cylinder from the 3D Shapes and set the parameters as shown below:
Tick the check mark to finalize the cylinder. Select a Torus from the 3D Shapes and set the parameters as follows:
Tick the check mark to finalize the torus again. The next step is creating the trigger. Select a Cube from the 3D Shapes and set the parameters as shown below:
Tick the check mark to finalize the cube. You can then give the spray bottle the color of your preference:
That is how you can use simple 3D shapes to create a spray bottle in SelfCAD.
In conclusion, this guide has explained how to make a spray bottle using SelfCAD's 3D modeling tools. With its easy-to-use interface, many features, and cloud-based system, SelfCAD is a strong and simple tool for both beginners and experts. After making your 3D models, you can also use the built-in online slicer to slice your files.
Enjoy powerful modeling, rendering, and 3D printing tools without the steep learning curve.
