Parts cup for a Prusa i3

thingiverse

I redesigned the original cup (thanks go out to Bradley for that) but soon realized it wouldn't quite work - what I really needed was something bigger, and capable of fitting over my Prusa i3's 6mm plate. One feature from the original design also caught my eye: a hemispherical shape on top, which makes it much easier to spot items. The OpenSCAD file is simplicity itself and extremely easy to customize if you want to create parts cups of different sizes. However, keep in mind that changing one setting may require altering two or three others. I manufactured mine out of ABS at 0.2mm layer thickness with a brim, but virtually any material will work as well as just about any layer height - just choose a setup you're comfortable using. I opted not to use any support since I'm willing to bridge gaps up to 6mm wide; however, if you're feeling less than confident (or reckless!), consider selecting the "support" option.
