thingiverse

Good day fellow DIY-Biologists! You can now craft your own precision measuring cylinders using this intuitive customizer! They may not rival commercial-grade measuring cups, but they're remarkably affordable and within reach. Get started with only three easy steps: Step 1: Acquire some conical tubes from eBay or simply collect used ones from a nearby lab – either option will save you money. Step 2: Measure them carefully, input the values into the customizer or .scad sheet, and print your components swiftly. Step 3: Insert the tube seamlessly into the newly printed stand and behold – it instantly transforms into your personalized measuring cylinder. Double-duty tip: they can also serve as charming flower vases. Best of luck, phil Designed with OpenSCAD (openscad.org) Print Settings: Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 10% Notes: Very straightforward print; no raft needed. Print resolution of your choice is perfectly fine. Suitable for ABS and PLA, but note that ABS may contract slightly during the process – you can mitigate this by increasing the gap between tube and inner wall. ABS also exhibits superior heat resistance and chemical tolerance.
