I’m going to come up with the right dimensions to have students design some fun toys to put in it that we can print. 25c for a piece of 3D printed schwag from the makerspace. I do have to do a few repairs, there are some cracks and broken pieces that I can hopefully fix (need one of those ABS pens!). The top holds a mason jar upside down (of course the guy included the file for a jar if I wanted to print that too, but I want it clear for people to see).
Most parts fit pretty good. Had some trouble with warping and cracking on the base on the backside which is the hell that is printing with ABS. Also probably should have added a few shells and upped the infill on some parts to make them a bit stronger to wear and tear. But the drum fit into the base like a glove and most all the parts fit pretty well right off the bed so +1 to a good design and semi-decent calibration at the moment. That base took 16 hours to print!
What are you going to fill it with? Too bad you can’t print gum balls yet.

I love the project and the fact that it’s a mason jar upside down. And those come in a few different jar sizes usually for a single mouth size.
I’m sending my 25 cents in the mail as soon as the project is done!
Looks awesome. The mason Jar is a great design idea. Do you need to grease the internals? How is the tolerance with the internal parts?
