The body has a handle and two threaded ends that fit the cap\/scoop for storage when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe optional cap keeps the contents dry when not in use. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis design is easy to print, assemble, and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePrinting\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint in your favorite filament.. most anything will do.  If you're going to leave it outdoors, ASA\/PETG might be a good choice, but PLA will have better overhangs, and for this non-load-bearing print ought to be fine for some time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint at 0.2 mm layer height or finer with settings that produce decent overhangs.  The threads have been modeled to be 3D printer friendly, but you'll want overhang not to be awful.  They're only 60 degrees, however, and the tolerances will allow for some messiness here.  I know.. because I went way too fast with my first settings with ASA and it still worked fine despite messy overhangs!  If you have any sticking , working it back and forth or using just a tiny amount of grease will make it work great!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShown here in Prusament Sapphire Blue ASA.

This is an improvement over the model shown in the pictures, with better speeds and overhangs, based on testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch5\u003eUse\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttach the threaded scoop to the shaker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill the scoop\/shaker with your desired material, such as ice melt salt, fertilizer, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e To store: Detach the scoop and attach the cap to store the shaker. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can also print multiple scoops and shakers in different colors to distinguish them for different purposes. Scoop, shake, and store your way to a more convenient life with this multipurpose 3D printed salt shaker!  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiles provided in 3MF and STEP and Fusion360 .. because being stuck in a mesh-only world can suck sometimes ! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote that in this model, I have compensated for the real-world rotational fit of the printed part by rotationally offsetting the scoop part by ~24 degrees based on my testing and measurements.  In this way, it ought to line up ~opposite the handle when tightened onto the open end.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRe: Contest entry..  I basically put a unique lid on a basic 3D printed jar form here, but re-imagined the purpose as being a different type of jar entirely.  Hopefully that's within the confines of the rules.  No common jar would really hold enough salt , so I had to make my own…\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by Adam L on MakerWorld (license: BY-SA).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67399737114928,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_1f8bf01c-a272-4aa1-ad10-89b3634882fe.png?v=1784912183","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/scoop-shake-and-store-a-versatile-3d-printed-ice-melt-shaker","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
