Hello to all
I made a rectangular container that must contain water
the problem that the walls hold water very well while the bottom seems to have a sieve effect.
I'm using petg and 50% fill
maybe i should use 100% fill?
thanks for all those who want to help me

I would paint the inside of the container - a clear varnish, low viscosity epoxy, acrylic casting material, enamel. You choice of coating will depend on the material you're using.

Increasing your extrusion multiplier will help create a less porous surface, but based on my experience, getting a perfect printed seal will be tough.

If you're going to be drinking out of this vessel, make sure whatever coating you use is food safe.

it was the first thing I was looking at

Create a process in the bottom surface layers so they over extrude, and do 6 to 8 solid layers. On the vertical walls do 3 or more perimeters and print at as high a temperature as you can with the material you are using to get the best layer adhesion.
