Customizable measuring cups (OpenSCAD)

thingiverse

I need to regularly make measurements of 2.5, 5, 10, and 15 tablespoons. Even shortcuts like 10T = 1/2C + 2T are tedious. I figured my 3D printer and I should do something about that. Those specific measurement sizes probably aren't very useful to anyone but me, but I've included the OpenSCAD file so if you need another size and aren't afraid to use OpenSCAD, go for it. Instructions for creating measuring cups in this style of your own size are in "How I Designed This" below. In addition to accurately measuring the intended volume, a label has been added to the top of the handle to identify the measured amount. The label is also customizable in OpenSCAD. There are small lip cutouts to prevent dribbling down the side of the cup when you pour and finger hole cutouts in the handles to make them easier to grip.
