Pythagorean goblet

Hi, my name is Žiga and this is my first published 3D model. The Pythagorean goblet is a simple looking cup with an exciting twist to it. I decided to create this model because I wasn’t satisfied with other prints on the internet. Some had the tendency to brake after printing, others had a badly designed syphon that wasn’t working, and some were made so you couldn’t really prank anyone with it because the position of the syphon was too obvious. I hope that with my design you wouldn’t bump into any of these problems. I appreciate all feedbacks for improving my cup. Have lots of fun with it. The short story about Pythagorean cup: Pythagoras, a famous antic mathematician organized a dinner for his students. There was lots of food and vine on the table. The vine was poured into cups similar to that I have designed. The students sat down, and the feast began. Pythagoras of course didn’t want his students to get drunk, so he decided to make cups that were to drain out completely if too much liquid was poured into them. He succeeded, and these were cups that were served with vine on the day of the feast. Many of the students wanted to pour more vine into their cups, but instead of vine in their mouths, they got it all over their pants. They all wandered why and how did this happen? Discover this yourself.
