DodecaShaker Dodecahedron Condiments Shaker

thingiverse

I camp, hike, and tailgate, a lot. And I do not like having many condiment shakers to haul around. This useful dodecahedron shaker consists of ten compartments all utilizing a water bottle neck, thread, and cap. Eight of the compartments are slightly larger than the volume of the cap. But, two of them utilize the internal space inside of the Dodecashaker for, you guessed it, salt and pepper. Each cap can be labeled, and each compartment can be used for other useful storage, such as beads, pills, you name it. Heck, use different color caps and you'll have a mind game trying to remember what's in each. Here are the steps I used to create this cool looking, useful, work of art. 3D print two halves of the dodecahedron, well, half dodecahedron. Print with large opening on top with no support, worked for me. 3D print the spacer. After some sanding, epoxy the spacer to one side of the dodecahedron halves. Ensure you apply epoxy all the way around as this will be your sealing divider. Sand some more to ensure the spacer is flat, epoxy the other half and ensure the two are lined up perfectly. I used a full peanut butter jar to apply weight as they dried and alignment was perfect. Cut the tops off 12 bottles just below the lip or rim. My bottles had a rim of 33mm. Sand each cut edge flat and ensure you expose as much area to sanding as this will help provide a better area for epoxy adhesion. You may need to grind a little on the dodecahedron to clean up the recessed locations. Apply a layer of epoxy to the bottle top flat rim. Insert each into the recessed locations. Turn after you insert to create a perfect layer. You may want to do two at a time, across from each other, and use a clamp to hold firmly until dry. Wait until everything dries, usually 24 hours, and wash thoroughly. Create a stick on label or simply use a maker to mark each cap of its contents.
