<p>Longmont Dairy in Longmont, Colorado, USA sponsors a program called MILK CAPS for MOOOLA, a program that helps students earn money for their school and fellow students. Longmont Dairy milk caps are worth 5¢ each and are redeemable for cash by participating schools only.</p> <p>For a list of participating schools, or to learn more, click here: <a href="https://longmontdairy.com/milk-caps-for-mooola/">https://longmontdairy.com/milk-caps-for-mooola/</a></p> <p>This part is a simple counter-top organizer for collecting milk caps before taking them into your school for redemption. The part fits ~12 caps, but I've included the Fusion file and STL, so you're free to modify the part to fit your needs.</p> <p>It's a bit silly that funding education requires families to collect garbage, but here we are. Thank you to Longmont Dairy for sponsoring the program and supporting our communities!</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I printed mine on a Prusa i3 MK3S, in PETG, 0.20mm Quality, 15% Cubic infill, on the smooth steel sheet. I put a thin layer of Kores gluestick down while the plate was cold to help the part release from the build plate more easily, and the PETG tends to stick <em>too</em> well and can damage the build plate. A <em>thin</em> layer is critical, and try to smooth it out with your finger or else you'll see the gluestick texture in the final print. I think mine turned out beautifully!</p> <p>You could easily print this in PLA, too, but things in the kitchen tend to take a beating, and PETG is more robust, so I went with that.</p>
