Meeple Salt/Pepper Shaker

thingiverse

I've had it with those flimsy, non-refillable salt and pepper shakers we've been using for years. It's time to upgrade to custom-made ones that actually do the job. To print them without any issues, I broke down the designs into separate pieces so I could avoid adding supports that would be impossible to remove later. The holes should be large enough to fit standard table salt and black pepper perfectly. To ensure everything lines up just right, I used six 2mm holes as guides. For each hole, I cut a piece of 1.75mm filament about 3mm long to keep the backing in perfect alignment while gluing it all together. One thing I noticed is that my prints came out with closures that fit extremely tightly. If you want your shakers to be refillable, you might need to file down the closure just a bit so it slides open more easily. Just be careful not to make it too loose!
