octagonal stirring sticks for small paint containers

thingiverse

(10) 4mm wide octagon by 100mm long stirrers My intent is to use them to mix paint by number paint container pots. I made them 100mm long so they are comfortable in the hand. I chose an octagonal profile so they don't require support to print and don't roll off the table. They are a little larger in diameter than I'd like for tiny paint by number containers after trying them out so I would scale them down in the slicer if that is your intent as well. The stl is a group of 10 which takes about an hour to print. I included the Fusion 360 and step design file. It is possible to print 40 without overlap by multiplying up the group of 10 in the slicer if you are looking for many at once. Cura seems to allow the interleaving of groups of 10 so it appears possible to print 80 at a time on an Ender 3/Ender 5. I don't recommend using them for anything food or drink related. Enjoy.
