The 100th Upload - Tantalus Cup

thingiverse

Thingiverse tells me this is my 100th design. Nope. More like the 126th. But to celebrate the home page of BathRobotics now saying "100 DESIGNS" I thought I'd do a pre-tested Print of a Trophy. Not just any trophy though. If You fill this cup with water, it will completely empty itself. I've designed in a self supporting pathway for the water from the centre of the cup to just below the brim and then down again to the base. Once the water reaches the top of the channel it forms a syphon and empties the cup. NEW VERSION IS V3 - COMPLETE WITH "BLANK" AS PER REQUEST This one works ("GOOD"), The smaller one (also included) didn't do too well, but that might be my printer. I've just re-demo'd it and the Syphon had water still in it, so kicked off as soon as water went in. Give a Shake before using a 2nd time. So, 100, in Bath (Aqua Sulis) I might be a Roman Centurion! (Except I'm from Liverpool originally)... 100 Design uploads, that's dizzy heights right there. With Schrohr, Zheng3, AdaFruit, WilliamAAdams, Mark Durbin, Tony Buser, and Greg Zumwalt, all of whom have managed at least 100 uploads too. IN TIME FOR GOOD FRIDAY -This makes a brilliant Egg Cup for large eggs, Chocolate Eggs, Easter Eggs, or scale it for Hens Eggs - just don't drop it. Respect peeps, EUR ING Andy Southern aka Bath Robotics.
