Cherry stone removal tool

thingiverse

Taking lightofhonors's idea to remove the guides, I went back to rockstaralchemists design and stripped off everything to do with the guides, added a handle to the extraction shaft, and put a nice rim on top and bottom of the mold cup. It works quite well using the paraboloid side to hold the cherry, and the shaft will be naturally directed down to the hole. Using the spheroid side takes a little more care to precision. To ensure the shaft is maximum strength, I printed it out horizontally rather than vertically. Supports will be needed (I used PVA disolvable supports on a UM3 -- see pic). Infill was 35% (most of the shaft is going to be solid anyway. Layer height increased to .2mm reduced print time to 5 hrs from 8+ hrs with default .1.
