This is a salt and pepper cellar in form of a wobbler fidget toy. Maybe print it in heavy metal filled filament.

This is a salt and pepper cellar in form of a wobbler toy.
You'll obviously need two halves for a wobbler.
Preferably in black and white since to the number of holes is equal (and hidden) and can't indicate whether it contains salt or pepper.
Magnets per wobbler: 8 x [4mm diameter, 2mm height, polarization direction: polar]
Known Issues:
The design for the magnets is improvable.
Feel free to drop a derivative if you do so.
As FFF plastic is light and salt is heavy filling it is quite detrimental (damping) to wobble rolling. Thus you might want to print this in bronze filled filament or such for weight.
And avoid having it half-filled.
Print Settings
Printer Brand: Ultimaker
Printer: Ultimaker Original
Rafts: No
Supports: No
Notes: Higher infill is better.
Rough resolution is ok.
Smooth convex outer surfaces => easy to post process.
Post-Printing
glue in magnets & polish if desired.
For one wobbler You'll need to buy eight magnets (better more - they like to get lost) with a diameter of 4mm and thickness of 2mm. These magnets need to be magnetized axially that is north and south at bottom and top surface respectively.
The magnets need to be glued in with the right pattern of polarity or else the halves will not connect in the right way. The magnets at the sharp ends of both halves of the wobbler need one polarity sticking outwards. The magnets at the flat ends of both halves of the wobbler need the other polarity sticking outward. See pictures.
Be sure you have the right polarity when you glue the magnets in (you may mark them). This can't be undone!
Cyanoacrylate (superglue) works fine for gluing. Use toothpicks. Avoid getting glue on the hull.
The wobbler in the photographs are printed with PLA plastic and polished more smooth with the solvent methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) aka Butanone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butanone
(mechanical rubbing with a piece of cotton needed)
