The Rim Job (margarita salter)

thingiverse

So you're at a party and the ladies want some margaritas. So you pull the 3D printer out of your ass and impress them with your tool and create a mini margarita assembly line. Now you don't even have to reach in there with your fingers smearing the wetness around to get things going, you just place the rim of the glass in the left side filled with margarita mix, with a followup on the right, resulting in the most perfect salted margarita glass ever seen. Cleanup is easy, just throw it in the dishwasher! See below for tutorial, download and impress today!!!!! Disclaimer: I have heard it is bad to use 3D printed stuff on food. This is not recommended for use on food/beverages etc deemed for human consumption due to the wide variances in print nozzle and filament compositions. Unless you have a mass spectometer and can verify your printed copy of this Thing is not carcinogenic or in other ways toxic, do not use for anything you would put in your body. Especially if you live in California, where almost anything can give you cancer thanks to proposition 65. I covered in acetone to melt the plastic and destroy anything on the surface, then put, what should be a sealed body in the dishwasher. This has not been tested by any healthcare professional or regulatory agency. Proceed at your own risk like anything else you saw on the internet. Print Settings Printer: FFCreat0r Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: .15 mm Infill: 10%, 3 shells Notes: Print ABS, use acetone to smooth to a sealed and solid piece of kitchen kit. The goal is to not let water get inside and get moldy. Which could cause mold, or cancer... I think that's how that works. See Thing.acetoningProcedure at the very bottom for moar details. Note: This is scaled for about an 80 mm glass like this 'ADH1A' glass pictured above. Scale or modify as needed, I have included the source files like any 'open source' design should, but if these do not fulfill your needs feel free to ask Post-Printing Tada! The melted plastic leaves a shimmer After careful removal of the raft, fill the contents with desired substances. This was just tested like 10 mins ago in our R&D lab, with the left being margarita mix, and the right salt. Since we read left to right? dunno Our margarita expert says to use some (complete margarita with expensive tequila) liquid poured in the glass to smear around the outside, before applying salt. After optimization, our lab has discovered that margarita mix alone creates a stronger bond, we presume due to the alcohol not weakening it. Sometimes it gets too salty! Never had this issue in the past, quite frankly I was amazed with this Thing's performance. You really want to DL/Make and test this thing for yourself. /marketing Stage 1: Apply sticky substance Stage 2: Apply salt. Union demands you must take a paid break for next hour, as this was a very labor intensive operation, typical of any assembly line. Look at that! This was the first trial run of the final iteration. Truly shows the capabilities of this design, the amount of salt is nearly limitless (or at least way past my limit....) Looks pretty stirred, but trust me it was shaken. Yum! Thing.Conclusion Epicness is all I have to say. This is a damn good margarita if I do say so myself. Print on and enjoy responsibly! Oh and in case anyone wants a recepie to start with: 1/3 1800 silver 1/6 Grand Marnier 1/2 Jose Cuervo mix (or other, but it doesn't have a cool song to go along with it) This was passed to me by the daughter of a great Alaskan bear hunter, who forges his own arrows and recurve bows, and swears by this recipe. Who could possibly be more experienced with margaritas.... seems legit. Custom Section Thing.acetoningProcedure OPTIMIZED ACETONING PROCEDURE: I tried brushes. Even with the Home Depot chick assuring me this new paintbrush would most likely not give way to the acetone and I could get my money back if it did, it did. So I got my money back. Pure acetone is a volatile chemical, as I'm sure you're aware. It evaporates quickly leaving your skin cold and weird. It melts ABS giving us a very nice finish. She even gave me her number on a paint stick to get a discount on acetone brushes at Sally's! Now that's what I call good CS! Giving up on brushes, I used nitrile gloves and a cotton rag. Much to my surprise, the nitrile showed no signs of damage from the pure acetone. This left a smooth and shiny finish, without the degraded, liquified brush left on the surface like past iterations not pictured. Thing looked like some white mucus crap got dumped all over its face, and who would ever want that. Seriously. Def use a rag and nitrile gloves to protect your precious skin. But that technique works very, very well.
