Salt & Pepper Mill Funnel

thingiverse

If you have a Salt and Pepper Mill, and unless you're extremely careful, find refilling them a messy and wasteful process due to spillage, this is an easy solution. This is a small and easy print that uses very little filament and serves a practical purpose. The Salt & Pepper Mill Funnel makes refilling an easier and cleaner process. The funnel should fit most Salt and Pepper Mills. The brim is 60mm wide, which greatly increases the area you pour into. The funnel is also kept centered by sliding over the center shaft with a central locating sleeve. All too often the center stem is part of the cause of spillage as the poured salt and pepper hit it and bounce out. The combination of the funnel centring sleeve and the wider brim should eliminate the spillage issue, making refilling faster, easier, and cleaner. You will only ever need to print one... then keep it handy for quick and easy refills. The Salt & Pepper Mill Funnel should work in most regular size mills. The minimum top opening in the mill needs to be 26mm, and maximum center shaft size 7mm. Please read the print instructions and refer to the images for additional information.
