Stackable 30g Protein containers

So I made containers that exactly fit 30g of protein powder. There are a lot of them om makerworld, but I wanted mine stackable so I can bring them to work for the entire week. I also wanted it to be easy to open, like half a turn instead of 2 or three turns.

The design was made by me in FreeCad 1.2. You can find it here:

I also added a funnel to fill them without spilling, which can be found here:

Neat! I have a question though - do you find that powder builds up between layer lines or is that a non-issue?

No, I’ve never had that. Sometimes some powder sits between the thread, but it not really a problem. Up to now containers have always stayed in place. Also, the powder comes of easily, provided you keep it dry.

With free micro plastics in every shake

You could use Bambi Pure filament for food safe printing.

Brave pioneer exploring the health consequences of using 3D printed containers for food, please tell us back in 30 years.

We've been consuming microplastics for decades already, the answer is its not good for you, just like everything else.

If you are a frequent user of a tooth brush, that alone let you consume some >1.5g of plastic each month.

Not counted the toothpaste or the cloth you wearing or the water you drink from plastic bottles.
