I needed an additional coffee measure for my de-caffeinated container so I designed one. I printed in PETG but PLA should work fine. The part has a 45 degree chamfer on the base which does not need supports but the handle does need them. The handle has an inverted "V" on the bottom side to minimize the support contact area. This model is an improved version of my other model, "Coffee Measure". The improved design allows the supports to be very easy to remove and provides a smooth surface without sanding.
Using the Prusa slicer I modified the default settings as follows:
0.2 mm layer height
7 top and 7 bottom layers to make the bottom of the part solid
5 perimeters
15% rectangular infill
Support type - Grid (do not use snug or organic as they might be harder to remove in this case)
Arrange the supports so the interface layers are mostly perpendicular to the handle threads as shown in the picture provided.
overhang threshold = 35 degrees to avoid unneeded supports
interface pattern spacing 1.0 mm for easier removal of supports
interface layers spacing = 1.0 mm (light) for easier removal of supports
