Rice Cup

thingiverse

Rice cookers are pretty cool, but they come with a little plastic cup for measuring rice that's actually calibrated in an old Japanese unit of measurement called a Gō. This Gō doesn't match any other measuring cup in your kitchen, so if you lose the cup, you're kind of stuck. It's really all about the ratio of rice and water that matters, but my rice cooker has marks inside the bowl for quantities that indicate how many little rice cups are needed. So the little cup is super convenient, but I didn't feel like paying too much for a new cup or buying a new rice cooker. So I researched the right size (it's about 180 ml, which is more than three-quarters of a cup) and designed it in OpenSCAD. You can change the base size, angle of the sides, thickness of the walls, and volume (if you wanted to make a shot glass, for example).
