Cherry stone removal tool

thingiverse

Taking inspiration from rockstaralchemists design, I stripped back the guides and merged it with lightofhonors's concept, adding a handle to the extraction shaft for effortless operation. The mold cup now features a sleek rim on top and bottom, providing stability while maintaining its functionality. Using the paraboloid side proves effective in holding the cherry in place, as the shaft naturally aligns with the hole below. Achieving precise results requires careful attention when utilizing the spheroid side, but the end result is well worth the effort. To ensure maximum strength of the shaft, I opted to print it horizontally instead of vertically. This approach necessitates the use of supports, which I successfully implemented using PVA disolvable supports on a UM3 - as seen in the provided image. An infill percentage of 35% proved sufficient, given that most of the shaft will be solid anyway. To further optimize print time, I increased the layer height to .2mm, reducing the overall printing duration from 8+ hours with the default setting to just 5 hours.
