Fruit Bowl "Salty Apple"

This fruit bowl comes in a modern design. The "Salty Apple" is the medium sized version from my collection.
It is easy to print and easy to assemble. No screws, no glue required.

Why "Salty"?
To give the fruit bowl more weight, I have added a print pause during which you can add sand (salt or sugar) to the base. Use whatever you have available. 
Sand is best because it is heavier than salt or sugar. The base holds about 250g of sand or 200g of salt or 170g of sugar.

Why "Apple"?
I have created three different sized fruit bowls. "Salty Apple" is the medium sized variety. There is also "Sandy Melon" (the largest) and “Sweet Lemon” (the smallest).
Check out all of them in this collection.

    As described above, you can add material to the base during the break to increase its weight. Fill the material very carefully and not all the way to the top. Otherwise the printer fan will start a sandstorm as soon as you continue printing ;-)

Use Height Range Modifier in Prusa Slicer to define the above layer ranges. For description see Prusa 3D Help.
These infill variations save time and material. If you do not want to set them, use Grid 25% throughout.

Assembly

Simply insert the planks into the recesses provided in the base. Make sure you insert the right side. This is the one with the slightly larger distance to the ring hole.
If you like the rings, just use some filament for them.

I am looking forward to your Makes! :-)

The following filament was used in the pictures above:

• Extrudr PLA NX2 white
• Extrudr PLA NX2 anthrazit
