There is provided a 3D printing build material container (91). The container comprises a reservoir, a build material outlet structure (913), and an outer structure (94) disposed around the reservoir. The reservoir is to hold build material. The build material outlet structure is to allow build material to exit the reservoir. The outer structure forms an external surface of the container and includes a recessed portion (941) in the external surface. The recessed portion supports the outlet structure (913). La présente invention concerne un contenant de matériau de construction d'impression 3D (91). Le contenant comprend un réservoir, une structure de sortie de matériau de construction (913), et une structure externe (94) disposée autour du réservoir. Le réservoir est destiné à contenir un matériau de construction. La structure de sortie de matériau de construction est destinée à permettre à un matériau de construction de sortir du réservoir. La structure externe forme une surface externe du contenant et comprend une partie évidée (941) dans la surface externe. La partie évidée supporte la structure de sortie (913).
