Making prints less hollow

CAD
1

Hi

So I have developed a part that I lost for my car’s parcel tray.

A link to the part is located at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/189370/cover\_catch11.blend

I have also attached a stl file of the part

The part is OK shape wise but to weak. The cylinder post part breaks off. Can anyone recommend a way to make this shape less hollow / stronger ?

Thanks

I would say just print with a thicker wall for the extra strength. It should be one of your main slicer settings. If you are getting this printed by a Hub, I would ask them to print with a thicker wall (which will most likely add a tiny bit to the cost of the part).

Hope this helps,

Martin

Thanks in the end I extruded the cylinder towards the centre. That seems to have corrected the problem.

Thanks
