Tardis salt shaker
Description
For those who would like to dine with Doctor Who.
Instructions
Be careful when printing light on top of the lid. It is a small structure so can overheat easily - cool it down appropriately (slow down, orbit or just blow on it).

You have no idea how much salt fits in this thing. Started filling it last Saturday, was still taking more this Thursday. Some of it came out wet.
Got such a nice print of the Tardis (see blue Tardis picture above). Inside and out very nice. Didn't do so well on the thread at the top... almost not there and the salt shaker top "slips" on... so I'm not sure what's wrong. It didn't do so well spanning the inside top of the salt shaker either. The light on the top of the Tardis seems rounded... not square. Maybe my printer didn't handle it that well? Too fine? maybe a skeinforge setting?
Bit of a bugger really as the Tardis itself took almost 2 hours to print!
The print has been done with PLA at 190 degrees C.
Honestly though.. I do really love the quality of the print on the Tardis.
David,
Can you measure inner diameter of the hole in the lid, and outer diameter of thread on main part (valley-to-valley and hill-to-hill) with caliper?
I would like to fix it and learn how to set proper clearances. Funny thing is that as I wrote on my machine (Ultimaker + Netfabb) the thread works jus
t fine but I suspect it's side effect of overshooting outer dimensions.
Light on top of lid is perfectly round in STL file and in my printout so it must be something in your Skeinforge or machine settings.
I'll bet it holds a lot more salt than you would think, am I right? :)

On an Up the threads don't grab--the top just slips on as others have noted.
