Salt and Pepper Shaker with Handle

Salt and Pepper Shaker with Handle

A simple salt and pepper shaker with a handle that is easy to print and can also be customized afterwards. I printed and tested the model myself successfully.

Files Included are:

• a 3MF file for direct printing

• the original Fusion file for further editing

The shaker has a base diameter of 32 mm and a maximum width of about 50 mm. These dimensions can be changed in the Fusion file. The model is not fully parametric, but the relevant dimensions should be easy enough to find and modify.

Printing notes

The model is generally easy to print. No special infill, unusual settings, or other specific print requirements should be necessary. The only area that needs some attention is the handle, because it creates an overhang. There are two reasonable ways to deal with this:

• print it with supports

• cut the model in the slicer, add alignment pins, print the parts separately, and glue them together afterwards

I used the second approach myself. It works well, and the glued connection is strong enough since the part is not heavily loaded.

Notes

My printed version uses wood filament. Because of that, visible stringing may appear in the photos, but this is caused by the material rather than the model itself.
