I love this goofy little thing but it definitely flies poorly and warps because of the size, especially if you don't allow it to fully cool on the print bed

The caps don't sit totally flush on the crystals so you can tell you can open it, painting it does hide this fairly well. Make sure you use the vase mode/seem randomizer, especially if you arent going to paint. It looks nice straight off the print bed though, fits a descent range of things but obviously not a lot. As an interesting loot component of a DND cave scene, 10/10 silly rogues

It's would be better if you have a print bed large enough to print as one piece. if you can add a layer or two/slightly increase the scale to give it some extra rigidity on the edges because they will warp. bad. Also, the tolerances when splitting for A1 mini are tight enough I recommend a flat bed, not a textured bed, otherwise it doesn't stay together well. I'm still trying it because this is awesome though, give it a shot

it's weighty and feels good in your hand. It prints easily with PLA but gets a bit stringy if you don't adjust temp and extrusion rate with nonbasic PLA or other materials and the overhangs under the outer petals will need post processing. I really like it in the fluoro pla

The print is easy but watch the heat, it will get thready and may interfere with the printed threads. Otherwise, this will work right out of the print bed and feels fairly strong.

I love these but Ive noticed somethings to either keep an eye on when printing, assembling and using this. Ive printed this (and a couple of it's minor components) several times and deployed it in our greenhouse. The crank core shaft is easily stuck and will break if you need to remove it, using a dowel or screw may help. Be careful of the internal resistance clip, it will bend if you aren't careful and will fail internally and you're going to have to take it apart. My final recommendation is that you use something stronger than PLA for this. At least the internals, maybe something built for flex like TPU. PLA breaks down too quickly in sun and himidity

It's weird to say but these fell more heavy duty than I could have expected printing in PLA but it's tough, weighty, and threads relatively smoothly (after the initial time screwing it on to clear the threads). I like this a surprising amount

The issues don't come from the print itself, it's the utility. it's so open it allows the insects to easily exit as well as any fluid to spill when this falls over.

The print was pretty fast and had no issues however, after using the cup as a chopstick cup, I've noticed it is very light in the bottom. if you're using anything that will stick out more than a ball point pen, I'd either add some weights in the bottom (or print thicker) and maybe stretch it a wee bit taller. it still lives in my kitchen

Easy print, works well on my small drill to mix semi vicious liquids. No problems on the basic settings, no changes needed on the A1 mini with PLA and PLA+ settings.

Most of these will print well but temperature and line fill will get you easily. They easily warp when cooling, especially the usbc caps. I've reprinted twice and they still struggle to fit. The other caps were less of a problem.
