Description
"Outta Thyme" Modular Spice Storage System
This design is currently in active refinement. While it has been daily-tested for 2 months with great results, I am still fine-tuning the shaker hole diameters. If you find a specific spice that doesn't flow well, please let me know in the comments so I can provide an updated insert!
I created the Outta Thyme system because I was tired of "spice cupboard chaos"—a mess of mismatched jars that made my kitchen feel cluttered. I wanted a modular, uniform solution that actually worked for daily cooking.
After two months of daily kitchen testing, these jars have proven to be reliable, easy to use, and—most importantly—keep my spices dry.
Why "Outta Thyme"?
- No More Snap-Ons: Most printed jars use flimsy snap-in inserts. The Outta Thyme shakers feature a threaded insert that screws in and out securely.
- Tip: I’ve included a small indent so you can easily loosen the shaker for refilling.
- Smart Thread Tolerance: Spices are messy. I designed the threads with specific tolerances so the lids close perfectly even if fine powders get into the grooves.
- Integrated Profile: The shaker fits entirely within the jar's silhouette. Whether the insert is installed or not, the exterior remains sleek and uniform.
- Total Modularity: All lids, shakers, and jars are 100% interchangeable. Period.
What’s Included
- The "Outta Thyme" Jar: Simple, attractive, and shelf-ready.
- The Precision Lid: Heavy-duty screw-on design to keep your spices bone-dry.
- Dual-Flow Shakers:
- 3mm "Large" Flow: Ideal for coarse ground pepper, dried oregano, or rosemary.
- Medium Flow: Perfect for standard ground spices like cumin, paprika, or onion powder.
- Note: If you need a "Mega" size for red pepper flakes or a "Fine" version for salts, let me know in the comments!
Quick Technical Specs for the Makers
- Thread Type: Custom screw-thread with built-in clearance for spice debris.
- Shaker Hole Diameter: 3mm (Large) and 2mm (Medium).
- Clearance: Designed to close tightly even when "spiced" with fine powders.
Print Recommendations
- Layer Height: 0.20mm (Recommended for the smoothest thread operation).
- Walls: 2 perimeters for a sturdy, airtight seal.
- Supports: 100% Support-Free.
- Material: PETG is a great choice for kitchenware, but PLA works well for dry spice storage.
