Description

Butter Barn - Now Available for East Coast and West Coast Butter Sizes

 

I designed the Butter Barn to reimagine the butter dish with a focus on thoughtful details and clean, minimal lines. Now, I’m excited to share that the Butter Barn is available in two versions: one for West Coast butter sticks and a brand-new design specifically for East Coast butter sticks.

 

Here’s what you need to know about the two sizes:

West Coast Butter: Typically measures 3.25 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high, crafted for butter sticks commonly found in the western United States.

East Coast Butter: Generally measures 4.75 inches long, 1.25 inches wide, and 1.25 inches high. The new design accommodates the longer, narrower butter sticks (often called East Coast or Elgin butter sticks), offering the same snug and secure fit.

 

If you’re curious about why butter sizes vary across the United States, check out this video.
 

Key Features

Made for the Countertop: Whether you use East Coast or West Coast butter, the Butter Barn’s snug lid keeps it fresh and protected, making it perfect for room-temperature storage.

Precision Measurements: The base includes markings for tablespoons and cups, so portioning out butter for cooking or baking is intuitive and precise.

Thoughtful Lid Design: Both designs feature a chamfered slope on the inside of the lid, allowing for a clean, horizontal top without requiring supports during printing.

Crafted with Elegance: While I’ve used PLA Matte in white and light tan for previous designs, I now recommend using PLA Wood by Bambu Lab. It offers a refined, natural kitchen wood color that enhances the Butter Barn’s aesthetic, blending beautifully into any kitchen decor.

 

Food Safety Note

To keep your Butter Barn in pristine condition, wash it by hand with mild soap and water, and avoid placing it in the dishwasher. It’s also best to keep it out of the microwave. For more information on food safety and 3D printing, check out this video.

 

What’s Included

When you download the Butter Barn file, you’ll receive a 3MF file that contains:

• The original (and updated) West Coast Butter Barn design.

• The new East Coast Butter Barn design.

 

This update ensures that butter lovers across the country can enjoy the thoughtful design and functionality of the Butter Barn. Let me know how it works for you—I’m always looking for ways to make it even better.

 

I made a video to explain the history of two sizes of butter, but also instructions on how to best print this out using Bambu Studio. If you get something out of this video, please consider subscribing to it.

I can’t print this on my A1 the east coast print. it prints off the build plate. I have 2 A1 printers and both print the same way. it’s too far to the left.

had to put the print into Bambu studio and change the printer to an A1 and that seem to fix it.

yeah, you might have to just print the lid and base seperate. There's something about the A1 that's more restrictive with printing by object.

OK, but too short for typical butter sticks in the southeastern US.

It's specific for the "west coast" butter size, which is now common all over the US. I disclose that in the instructions. I'll be making the "east coast" (longer) size real soon, so stay tuned for that.

You did mention that. I will change to 5 stars. Also, I plan to attempt to elongate it for my needs. I will try to contribute that design and link to you, if I am successful. Thanks!

I've selected the correct printer and everything, but have tried several times, and the butter barn keeps printing off the bed.

there are two standard sizes of butter, this is for the "west coast" size. It's in the description. I'm currently making the design for the "east coast" size, and will let you know once its ready. :)

I've added the "east coast" butter size that you probably are using to the download, so now you have a choice depending on your butter size. Enjoy!
