straw holder

thingiverse

My wife picked up some glass straws and with them just sitting around in the cupboard, I decided to spend my time creating a holder for them. I was excited to try out the wood filament I had bought, so I gave it a go. Using Fusion 360, I designed the holder and printed it on an Anycubic I3 Mega using Geetech's PLA Wood Filament. The final result turned out really well, but the bottom part might be a bit too loose. If you grab the holder by the main part when taking it out of the cupboard, the bottom could slip away, so be careful or apply some glue to keep it in place. Alternatively, I used a soldering iron to create a small dent on the sides of the bottom part, which gave me a press fit that held the piece securely in place. The glass straws have dimensions of 10mm thickness, 100mm length, and 215mm overall size. The larger one is designed as a jewelry holder that you can put into your drinking water. While it's unlikely anyone has the exact same straws, I'd love to hear from you if you like this design.
