Round Salt and Pepper Mill Top

thingiverse

Needed new tops to replace the acrylic on my Trudeau Dalia Salt and Pepper mills, but my attempts to get replacement parts from the company were met with failure. Since this model can probably be easily edited in TinkerCAD to fit just about any salt and pepper mill, I decided to take matters into my own hands. The design includes a carefully crafted divot on top for the retaining nut, a square hole (5mm if I recall) for the shaft, and a cleverly designed paraboloid inner cavity that allows printing without supports. When I printed a version with facets, Cura still insisted on adding supports to the facets at the edge, so I ended up using supports when printing.
