Butter Pig (Classic)

thingiverse

Are you sick of having to pull out a knife, peel back the wrapper, toss away the wrapper, and wash the knife every time you need a slice of rich, creamy butter? What a hassle! There has got to be a better way! Introducing the Butter Pig. This happy oinker stores and dispenses your butter, keeping it fresh and sealed tight, and easily slices off a pad whenever you get the craving. Simply twist its curly tail. As an extra bonus, it also includes two more attachments to push out butter or margarine. Stores one stick of butter. Share it around the Thanksgiving table so each of your guests can grab a slice of pure, rich butter. No more struggling with a complicated dish or losing track of the butter knife. Butter tastes great on rolls, toast, garlic bread, croissants, corn, mashed potatoes, pancakes, noodles, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, biscuits, bacon, and more! *When using the push-out attachments, leave the butter out of the icebox to soften for an hour first. Why not print a Butter Pig for your loved ones this holiday season! It makes a fantastic stocking stuffer!! Edit 11/26/14 - I've uploaded a fresh set of extruder attachments that are slightly thicker so the butter won't ooze out the edges. Also, a new full plate STL with the updated extruders. 1/6/2015 - #IceboxChallenge winners have been announced! The Butter Pig took 3rd place! Pictures of the winning designs at CES can be seen here: https://twitter.com/makerbot/status/552517008051679233/photo/1 12/15 - I uploaded a new 'half pint pig,' perfect for those with smaller printers, or if you've just got half a stick of butter. Also added a 'laid-down' file so you can try that if you have issues printing the standing-up one. 12/19/15 - I uploaded individual STL files for the half pint pig tail and body. Let's see some pictures of your Butter Pigs! The Barnyard Family of Friends: This design is now known as the Classic Mix. Check out the amazing lineup of Butter Pig Friends at the Barnyard.
