White Elephant in a Jar - 2025 Edition (Improved!)
Print Profile(1)
Description
Around this time last year I published my original “White Elephant In-A-Box”, which was well received. Well, in the year since then, I'm a year older, a year wiser, and a year better at CAD than I was before. :)
Here comes the new and improved 2025 version! So what's new, and what's improved?
- Uses less material, though not by much, unless of course you're printing the version with the cutout lid instead of the multicolor.
- Better quality threads - last year's version had an issue with the interior threads - most prints would result in a few wild strands of filament that would have to be trimmed away in post-processing. That issue is gone!
- Speaking of threads - there's now a chamfer on the end of the threads for the lid - easier insertion and starting!
- The elephant's more slightly larger, so it's slightly more prominent.
- There wasn't much point to the multicolor tiles, so they're just strictly the “cutout” flavor now. Again, less material. Also lower print time as a result!
- Tiles are now generated by an OpenSCAD script, so you can now have some more control over how many numbers you print if you'd like to customize.
- Bars on the bottom of the 6 and 9 tiles from the start, so as to avoid confusion during your celebration.
- Everything's available as a single 3mf file for your printing pleasure.
In the end, it's everything you loved about last year's model, but with more.
