Description
Elevate early childhood learning with this professionally engineered Montessori Shape & Color Sorter. This set is a comprehensive educational tool designed to help children master geometric shapes, color theory, and fine motor coordination through tactile play.
Designed for meaningful parent-child interaction, each component features precision-engineered recessed reliefs. These integrated grooves are specifically created for a shared painting activity. Using safe, non-toxic acrylics, you can transform these 3D prints into a vibrant, personalized masterpiece.
Why This Model Stands Out:
Dual-Concept Mastery: Challenges children to align complex geometric forms (parallelograms, cylinders, etc.) while matching colors.
Frustration-Free Play: Features a strict 2mm safety clearance between all moving parts. This ensures shapes slide effortlessly without jamming, regardless of the printer's calibration.
Pro-Level Engineering: Standing at 100mm tall, each piece is designed with a technical bottom chamfer to eliminate "Elephant's Foot," ensuring a perfectly flat base and smooth, child-safe edges.

Print Settings & Manufacturing Instructions:
To achieve the best quality and ensure the 2mm clearances work perfectly, please follow these guidelines:
Orientation & Stability (Crucial):
Vertical Printing: All shapes (cylinders, parallelograms, etc.) and pins MUST be printed vertically (upright). This ensures the smoothest surface finish for sliding and keeps the painting grooves crisp.
Bed Adhesion: Due to the 100mm height and slim profiles, a 5–8 mm Brim is mandatory. This prevents the models from wobbling or tipping over as the printer reaches the top layers.
General Settings:
Supports: NONE. This model is 100% optimized for support-free printing.
Material: PLA (High-quality non-toxic filament recommended).
Layer Height: 0.2 mm.
Cooling: 100% fan speed. For the best results, print multiple shapes at once to allow layers sufficient time to cool.
Material Optimization (Save Filament):
Shapes: Use 3 wall perimeters and 10-12% Infill (Gyroid). This makes them sturdy enough for play while saving significant plastic.
Connector Pins: Use 6 wall perimeters to make the vertical supports nearly solid and highly resistant to breaking.
