Spill resistant oil can bottle dipper

thingiverse

I've seen these made out of tuna cans. Add just enough oil to touch the tapered tip on the dipper. That way, oil won't spill out if knocked over. The lid is left loose for cleaning purposes as well as letting oil back into the can while you wipe the dipper off. If you want a more permanent lid, a couple drops of super glue or hot glue will hold it in place. Do not seal the entire lid - oil needs to drip back into the can around the sides of the lid. Gluing the lid to the dipper is another way of securing it. Another method involves printing out an ABS shell and then putting a little bit of acetone in the can, attaching the lid, and plugging the hole with your thumb. Shake the acetone around for a bit and pour out the remainder. Let it dry for at least 15 minutes. This will seal the lid to the can. Be sure to wear gloves and safety glasses. Instructions: Printed with .20 infill in clear ABS, this item takes about three shells printed at .2mm layer height. The Simplify3D factory file is included, and it prints in about an hour and a half. With premium ABS material costing $1.50, print the dipper upside down while printing the can and lid normally. No supports are required - simply use first layer bed temp of 110C, 90C for remaining layers, and extruder at 240C for clear abs.
