Spill-Proof Spruce! - Intermediate

I wanted to design a log slice coaster for a long time, but could never think of anything to make it extra cool, until this idea! The bark unrolls to become a handle which is specially designed to make it impossible to spill your drink!

This design took over 50 iterations to get it working perfectly. The articulating hinges, and gravity lock mechanism were particularly tricky to get working, but its finally ready!

How does it work? Print in place hinges allow the bark to unroll. And a 90 degree hinge lets the handle rotate up and lock into place so you can carry your drinks!

Spill-Proof! This design is spill proof, thanks to physics! The center of the handle is directly over the center of the mug, much makes it spill-proof thanks to centrifugal force! The stretchy hair tie also protects your mug from bouncing!

Turned out great. I only had a few issues with the filament itself not the actual print. The only issue I’ve found with the print for me is the handle gets stuck going from standing up to laying back down but that’s an easy adjustment fix to get it back down without breaking.

Can you use Creality printers?

ForgeCore7 months ago

Yes you can use any printer we just recommend Bambu studio or orca slicer for slicing since they are very user friendly and open our 3mf files well and with our recommended settings.

is this one of the prints i should print first, i just started printing and i have a new printer, the bambu lab a1. Which printer did you guys use?

Hi, we also use Bambu printers. They are our go to. You can definitely try printing this one. The 3mf file should have all of our recommended settings for you. The only had part you could run into with this make would be the magnets. They can be tricky to add and require a bit of force. But we are here if you need any help.
