Funnel for Vitamix Blender

thingiverse

The title says it all - a blender for Vitamix. [09 Oct 2016 - The new version strengthens where the funnel meets the main part.] Print Settings Printer Brand: Deezmaker Printer: Bukito Post-Printing Food Safety I think I understand correctly that PLA plastic is inherently food-safe, but it's hard to get all food particles out of tiny nooks and crannies created during printing. After printing, I sanded the inside with 220 grit sandpaper. The top part was made octagonal for easier sanding. Please research food safety on your own - I make no claims about this design or 3D printing in general for use in food preparation utensils. I found that my PLA funnel is not dishwasher safe, even on the bottom rack. It's barely top-rack safe. Custom Section You can edit the OpenSCAD file for the funnel to change parameters at the top of the file: wall - The wall thickness of every element. topOutDia & topHt - The diameter and height of the top of the funnel. I chose small numbers to reduce print time and plastic usage. fn3 - The number of sides on the upper part of the funnel. fn3=8 makes it octagonal. fn2 - The number of sides on the middle "skirt". Again, 8 is octagonal.
