One of the items nessecary for most of cooking is a measuring cup. The openscad project is set to print a 1 cup measuring cup, but can be easily scaled to any practical size for cooking.\n\n== Bill of Materials ==\n\nOpenCAD\n\n* [[File:measuringCup1.scad|Open Scad File]]\n\nSTL\n\n* [[File:1cup.stl|One Cup]]\n\n== Tools needed ==\n\n# [[Athena Build Overview|MOST Delta RepRap]] or similar RepRap 3-D printer\n\n== Skills and knowledge needed ==\n\n* How to print structural items with a 3D printer\n* Use of Acetone for smoothing and crack filling\n\n== Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions ==\n\n=== Prepping for the Print ===\n\n# Use the Variable \"cups\" to change the size of the cup (Ex.5 for a half cup or 2 for 2 cups\n# Use the Variable \"lines\" to change the number of size indicators up to a max of 8.\n# Export STL\n# In your slicer, use a high infill and thick outer layer\n\n=== Other Info ===\n\n# Print time is ~2 Hours\n# No Post Printing assembly required\n\n=== Common Problems and Solutions ===\n\n* Make sure initial layers do not curl up. If they do, it is almost impossible to use this for accurate measurements.\n\n== Cost savings ==\n\n* If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.\n# 1 Cup uses 40g of Plastic which costed me $0.80\n# A good 1 cup measuring cup costs about $9.00 on Amazon\n# This is a savings of $8.20 or 1125%\n\n== References ==<ref>Pyrex 1 Cup Measuring Cup Available: [https://www.amazon.com/Pyrex-Prepware-1-Cup-Measuring-Measurements/dp/B0000CFMZN http://www.amazon.com/Pyrex-Prepware-1-Cup-Measuring-Measurements/dp/B0000CFMZN]</ref>\n\n<references />\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = 3D printing, baking, kitchen tools, measuring cup, osat, plastic\n| sdg = SDG10 Reduced inequalities\n| published = 2015\n| organizations = MY4777, Michigan_Tech's_Open_Sustainability_Technology_Lab, MTU\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| language = en\n}}\n\n[[Category:How tos]]\n[[Category:Food]]\n[[Category:Heathcare]]\n[[Category:OSAT 3D-Printable Designs]]\n[[Category:3D printing]]\n[[Category:Plastic]]"}
