Portable Salt Shaker

myminifactory

I designed a compact spice/salt shaker perfect for backpacking adventures. It had to be spill-proof when packed away, featureless to avoid lost caps, and operable with one hand. Hopefully, this design will work out; I haven't had a chance to test it yet. To create the plug, I used NinjaFlex, but you may need to adjust the size if using other materials. Inside the shaker, a 6mm diameter x 4mm height cylindrical magnet is inserted. This allows two shakers to be attached at the base or stuck on various surfaces like the fridge, fuel canister, etc. Multiple versions of the exterior tube are available, and I've labeled each one by the microns gap between its inside and outside parts. You might need to try several options to achieve a good fit, especially when combining different materials for the interior and exterior.
