This box is for this teapot: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLNJ1XG5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
The tea pot itself looks great and not that expensive, in my opinion. What it lacks is an attractive package. This print is to solve this problem.
I printed the box itself using Elegoo Rapid PLA+. The padding is by Siraya Flex TPU Air, which I printed at 250C with extrusion coefficient 0.45, which ended up with hardness of 75A (per my measurement of a test sample with 100% infill). The padding infill is 20%, which makes the padding even softer.
The PLA prints easily, but the TPU might be tricky. Initially I tried my QIDI Plus4, but the filament stuck in the extruder while I was attempting unloading it. I ended up using my old Ender 3 Pro with upgraded direct dual-gear extruder (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPC2V43L?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) and it worked as a charm. In compare to my QIDI extruder, the filament can be removed by pulling it manually- just heat the nozzle, pull the extruder lever and pull the filament by hand). Also pay attention that the filament is very stretchy- use ball-bearing spool holder to reduce the pulling force. If the spool unwinds with force, the filament stretches and less amount comes to the nozzle. If ball-bearing spool holder is not an option, at lest compensate the stretching by adjusting the extrusion coefficient.
