Create dry measuring scoops in any size. (common sizes provided as examples)

Pre-published STLs print nicely at 0.2mm layer height, no support, no brim

To customize: 

  1. install OpenSCAD and Overpass Font 
  2. (Optional) create MeasureScoop.json from the content below.
  3. Open the attached MeasureScoop.scad in the OpenSCAD UI
  4. Ensure “Hide Customizer” is NOT checked in the “Window” menu
  5. In the Customizer tab, set the scoop's volume as you like (in ml) and optionally override the labels on the handle
  6. use “File → Export” to export the new scoop to STL or whatever format you prefer.
  7. slice and print

 

OpenSCAD can store and pre-populate presets for parametric designs. To pre-populate OpenSCAD's UI with the settings used for the pre-published STLs copy the following content into MeasureScoop.json in the same directory where you saved MeasureScoop.scad

{
  "parameterSets": {
    "1tsp": {
      "volumeLabel": "1",
      "unitLabel": "tsp",
      "volume": "4.93"
    },

    "15ml": {

Finally: a shout-out to @Teque5 for making the Overpass font-selection a no-brainer. See awesome write up at Font Swatches Tested & Ranked
