<span>#<br># Moved over from Takerbot's Thingiverse...<br>#<br><br></span>The volume of the bowl can be specified in ml.
<p>Image shows a 2ml version (and some too cheap, green tee ;-). </p>
<p>The provided 5ml example equals a teaspoon, but I highly recommend to create your own with the included OpenSCAD source file. <br></p><p><br></p><p>---<br></p><br><div><p>Fire up OpenSCAD and load the source file. <br>
Only six parameters need to be considered: </p>
<p>volume = 5.0; // volume of the spoon in ml <br>
thickness = 1.4; // thickness of wall in mm </p>
<p>gripDia = 7.0; // diameter of the grip <br>
gripLen = 80.0; // length of the grip <br>
gripAngle = 30.0; // angle of the bowl-grip joint <br>
sink = 0.4; // cut off the bottom a bit </p>
<p>Most of them should be self explanatory. <br>
Pick a volume, a wall thickness and make the grip "look good" afterwards... </p>
<p>The "sink" parameter cuts off a bit of the spoon's bottom and makes
it flat. This results in a better adhesion to the printing bed. </p>
<p>Small spoons (e.g. <5ml) may still require a raft. </p>
<p>For goods that need to be measured by weight and not volume, it might be helpful to print a quick size test. <br>
If you set the following variable to "1" </p>
<p>MINITESTGRIP = 0; // print test grip? 0/1 (off/on) </p>
<p>the grip will be cut off and the resulting rest can be printed much quicker. </p></div>
