Balancier

thingiverse

Introducing the Balancier from Big-E's Absynthesis collection - a fully 3D printed absinthe preparation tool. This essential piece for any aspiring absintheur is also a fun challenge in engineering. The Balancier, or Brouilleur Auto Verseurs, was invented over a century ago to simplify the absinthe preparation process. To print your own Balancier, you will need the following files: Balancier_cup_final.stl, Balancier_Leg-clip_helper.stl, Balancier_Leg-smooth_helper.stl, Balancier_spoon_simple_smooth.stl, Balancier_Timing_clip.stl, Balancier_Timing_clip_2.stl, and Balancier_Timing_clip_3.stl. Print the cup at high quality with 2 shells and 20% infill; legs at 100% infill for strength; and the spoon at highest quality with 100% infill. You can also print all leg pieces and timing clips in one go using Balancier_parts_plate.stl, though varying print quality between parts may affect results. Comprehensive assembly instructions are provided in PDF format. Assembling the Balancier requires care, so refer to the guide for assistance.
