Pollen Press Remix

I was thinking about printing the original, then I wondered how I was to get a pressed pollen pill out of an enclosed tube. A touch of tinkercad later and the tube is now double sided and the pressed end now unscrews for removal. there's a choice of ends, rounded and flat. You only need one end so whichever you like.I also made the shaft a single piece instead of 2. I also made some plates so you can press more than one pellet at a time. One is set with quarter scores. If you print the second cap you also have a nifty carrying tube. You could inset a design into the pellet itself if you were so inclined. This is just an example. Nice original model by Elfrizzy, so thanks to him. There are both a round and a flat end cap for your comfort. The rounded one will need to print with support, the flat does not. You will need the support of your choice on the tube for the overhang, but I didn't require any other supports to print it. Print the cone nose down and you shouldn't require supports for it. 4 walls and 5top/bottom layers made everything nice and solid for me. The two piece shaft in the original design was also made into a single piece @ 5 walls and 50% infill. The plates are printed solid since they will be compressed.
