Pepper Mill Funnel

thingiverse

Our trusty pepper mill (William Bounds "WB-1 style") has always been a hassle to fill—it has a fairly narrow neck that's already a bit of a challenge, but things get worse with the metal crossbar that the top threads onto. Filling it usually meant spilling lots of peppercorns all over the counter.\nThis clever parametric funnel design features a notch, which allows it to sit snugly over the metal crossbar.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter: \n MP Select Mini\n \n Rafts: \n Don't worry about it\n \n Supports: \n No need for them\n \n Resolution: \n High at .3\n \n Infill: \n Go all out with 100%\n \n Notes: \n I chose printer settings that gave me a total of three walls and no infill. Before using this filament for food, be sure to review its MSDS.\n\n \n \n Custom Section\nCustomizer Issues\n This is my first published design, and I've already run into some problems with the Customizer. It seems that it doesn't give an accurate preview, probably due to how I created the cutout in the base of the funnel. If you know a way to fix this, please leave a comment. As far as I can tell, the .stl file from the customizer will be correct, but double-check before printing!
