Rice Cup - Modern Cube Style

thingiverse

This is a modern take on http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1282606 Rice cookers are awesome but they come with a little plastic cup for measuring rice that's actually calibrated in an archaic Japanese unit of measurement called a Gō, which doesn't match any other measuring cup in your kitchen. It's really the ratio of rice and water that's important, but my rice cooker has marks inside the bowl for quantities that indicate number of little rice cups. 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 approximately 180 ml, or a bit more than 3/4 of a cup) and designed it in OpenSCAD. And because I could, I made it all fancy minimalistic looking so that you can leave it on the counter without it looking like you didn't put away the rice cooker measuring cup. You can change the base size, angle of the sides, thickness of the walls, and volume if you wanted to make a shot glass.
