In this video we will make and deploy a 3d printed rock shaped container to be used as a geocache. There is a fun game being played around the world in real life using the GPS in your smartphone or a personal GPS device. Geocaching is worldwide scavenger hunt for hidden surprises. Some are very small and contain only a little log to sign, or they may be larger and have space to exchange trinkets. I fint that the larger ones are a bit more exciting to find when you have kids with you. Check out the website https://www.geocaching.com for more info. There is an app for apple and android for it as well. It is free to play, though if you get hooked, you may want to pay for the premium membership for more access and game play control.

First we log on to (free) thingiverse.com and search up geocache to see what our options are. We select the rock model by Runkel https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:338...

Using the (free) Cura software, we scale the model and export it to our 3d printer https://ultimaker.com/software/ultima...

We start the print on my Creality CR10S 3d printer https://amzn.to/3yl7SSP
using Overture PETG Rock Marble 1.75mm filament https://amzn.to/3uS04r5

I use spray Filler Primer to coat the print and smooth it out a bit https://amzn.to/3NMPXKK
and assorted natural spray paints to color it.
These Coarse Stone Texture Finish Spray Paints could be lovely as well:
Charcoal Sand https://amzn.to/3O2vUYV

Obsidian https://amzn.to/3NMQSea
Travertine Tan https://amzn.to/3bWKio3
White Onyx https://amzn.to/3AqOLJU

I coated the whole thing with Matte Clear paint and a sprinkling of sand on the wet paint https://amzn.to/3Pawogg
