Disposable Tablespoon Measure

thingiverse

I often measure out epoxy, cooking oils, silicone, lard, butter and so on, and wanted a disposable Tablespoon to help with that. I hate cleaning measuring spoons, and would prefer to throw it away at the end of the day. One tablespoon is approximately 15 milliliters, and there are three teaspoons in a Tablespoon. So, one teaspoon is about five milliliters. The inside of this project is marked for teaspoons. The goal is to minimize time and material, so tossing it out is guilt-free. No raft is required. Very little support is needed. Thin sections are preferred. I think I've done all I can with this restrictive, proprietary Afinia firmware. For Afinia users: Check the boxes in the newer firmware (Version 2.18) "No raft" and "Thin wall". Use a raft if you need it, but "Thin wall" MUST be checked, or the software won't detect and won't print the file's very thin walls... The included Merge.UPP file can only be used on the UP! / Afinia printers. UPP is a compressed file format. I think there is an .stl buried deep inside it, but I'm not sure how to get them out. I'm not even sure if the file will work on your machine or not. Anyhow... That "merge.upp" file prints 8 spoons. It required 80 minutes and 33 grams of ABS material. A Metric file is provided. If your software imports impossibly tiny 1mm square files, use the Metric version.
