Many people in 3rd World countries do not have access to stores like Walmart or Target where they can purchase necessary items. 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.

Bill of Materials

OpenCAD

STL

Tools needed

  1. MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer

Skills and knowledge needed

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

Prepping for the Print

  1. Use the Variable "cups" to change the size of the cup (Ex.5 for a half cup or 2 for 2 cups
  2. Use the Variable "lines" to change the number of size indicators up to a max of 8.

  2. No Post Printing assembly required

Common Problems and Solutions

Cost savings

  1. 1 Cup uses 40g of Plastic which costed me $0.80
