hydrometer for plastic pail lid

This model is engineered to achieve a high-precision interference fit by utilizing the controlled thermal expansion properties of PETG. The assembly process requires thermal activation to function as intended. How It Works (Required Process) Place the lid onto the main body. Heat the printed insert on an induction cooktop at high power for approximately 12 seconds. Remove the part and immediately press the humidity meter or gauge into position. As the material cools, it contracts, creating a tight and accurate press fit. Note: Heating is a required step. The part is not designed to be assembled at room temperature. Recommended Material PETG (required) This design is tuned specifically for PETG’s thermal expansion and mechanical behavior. Other materials are unlikely to produce correct fitment. Important Notes Printer calibration is mandatory. This model requires high dimensional accuracy. Small deviations in: flow rate extrusion consistency scaling will directly affect fit performance.
