Pestle and mortar for pills mark 2

thingiverse

This is a variant of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:531821. Having used that one for some time now, it became clear that a change was needed to make exerting significant downward force less grueling. Unable to think of a way to do this without making the mortar in two pieces, I decided on a design like this one. Designed in MOI, made from Diamond Age PLA on an Ultimaker original machine. The screws used were 3mm Button Head Cap Screws with an overall length (OAL) of 10mm. Instructions Due to the forces applied to this combination, it's highly recommended using top and bottom wall thickness of 2.4mm for the pestle (male part) and 1.6mm for the mortar (female part). Then a fill of twenty percent in PLA seems fine. And yes, I understand that I've mislabelled the part files, so I apologize about that.
