The Rim Job (margarita salter)

thingiverse

So you're at a party and the ladies want some margaritas. So you pull out your 3D printer and impress them with your tool, creating a mini margarita assembly line. Now you don't even have to get your hands dirty smearing wetness around to get things started, you just place the rim of the glass in one side filled with margarita mix, followed by a second application on the other, resulting in the most perfect salted margarita glass ever seen. Cleaning up is easy, just toss it in the dishwasher. Here's a tutorial on how to do it: Download and impress your friends today! Disclaimer: We've heard that using 3D printed stuff on food can be bad for you, so we don't recommend it for human consumption due to variations in print nozzle and filament composition. Unless you have a mass spectrometer to verify your printed copy of this thing is safe, don't use it. I used acetone to melt the plastic and destroy anything on the surface, then put what should be a sealed body in the dishwasher. This hasn't been tested by any healthcare professional or regulatory agency, so proceed at your own risk like you do with anything else online. Print Settings: Printer: FFCreat0r Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: .15 mm Infill: 10%, 3 shells Notes: Print ABS, use acetone to smooth out the surface and make a sealed piece of kitchenware. The goal is to keep water from getting inside and causing mold or cancer. Post-Printing: Tada! After removing the raft, fill the contents with your desired substances. This was tested just 10 minutes ago in our R&D lab, with margarita mix on one side and salt on the other. Our margarita expert says to use some liquid poured into the glass to smear around the outside before applying salt. But we found that using margarita mix alone creates a stronger bond because it has more alcohol, which doesn't weaken it as much. Stage 1: Apply sticky substance Stage 2: Apply salt This was our first trial run of the final iteration, and it shows what this design can do - the amount of salt is nearly limitless! Looks pretty stirred, but trust me, it was shaken. Yum! Thing.Conclusion: Epicness is all I have to say about this margarita. It's a damn good one if I do say so myself. Print on and enjoy responsibly! Oh, and in case anyone wants a recipe to start with: * 1/3 1800 silver * 1/6 Grand Marnier * 1/2 Jose Cuervo mix (or other) This was passed down from the daughter of a great Alaskan bear hunter who forges his own arrows and recurve bows, and swears by this recipe. Who could be more experienced with margaritas? Custom Section: Thing.acetoningProcedure OPTIMIZED ACETONING PROCEDURE: I tried brushes but they didn't work out. I even got my money back from the Home Depot chick who assured me it would be okay, but it wasn't. So I switched to nitrile gloves and a cotton rag, which worked really well. The nitrile showed no signs of damage from pure acetone, leaving a smooth and shiny finish without any residue.
