The Straw Cup

Don't keep waiting!! the Straw-Mug is here.

An incredible mug made solely from a straw that runs through its entire structure, including the handle.

73 Km of straw. Requires the lung capacity of a freediving expert and good medical insurance in case you get intoxicated by ingesting microplastics.

It needs to be printed with the following support settings so it doesn't create trees inside the tubing:

          Only on the build plate.

          Support critical regions only.

          Remove small overhangs.

A new, more optimal print profile has been uploaded to prevent water loss.

Using PETG will make it more watertight and less prone to leaks.

Even so, if leaks persist, you can try one of the following options:

                        Bake at a low temperature (50/60º) for 1/2 hours to improve layer fusion.

                        Paint with a layer of epoxy or liquid silicone.
