Swizzle Sticks
Description
So a RepRap, an Ultimaker, and a Makerbot walk into a bar...
I'm actually not sure how to finish that.
Here's a set of printable swizzle sticks! Use them to stab olives, fish out ice cubes, and identify your drink. Print a bunch and use them at your next party. They include hooks to hold onto the edge of the glass so they won't sink in.
I've include 9 different styles, some 3D printer themed, some christmas themed, and some just for fun (from left to right):
reprap - RepRap teardrop
ultimaker - the Ultimaker robot
makerbot - the Makerbot M
smily1 - the :) smily face
smily2 - the :D smily face
star - a 5-pointed star
christmas_tree - a christmas tree
snowman - a snowman
unicorn - a unicorn head, why not?
The zip includes single and plate versions of all designs as *.stl files as well as *.dxf files. I'm not familiar with laser cutting, but I think this should work well with the appropriate (thin) material. For convenience I have also attached the *_single.stl files individually.
I wouldn't call this a derivative of any one thing, but it uses the following things:
thingiverse.com/thing:14472
thingiverse.com/thing:14600
thingiverse.com/thing:14486
thingiverse.com/thing:14629
thingiverse.com/thing:14601
I've included the necessary files from those things for convenience.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if you do something foolish after drinking too much. Please just don't.
Instructions
Change the plate size in Makefile.
run "make clean && make" to generate build plates at the right size.
Default is 150mm x 150mm
Alternatively, get the required files and use like so:
use <swizzle_sticks.scad>
swizzle_stick("reprap");
// or
swizzle_stick("reprap", make_plate = true, plate_max_x = 150, plate_max_y = 150);

Brilliant!!! I love the use of command line tools over the GUI. make is your automations best friend if you take time to learn and use it.
Just worth noting. Most ABS and PLA is not food grade!
Alcohol will likely leach pigment from the plastic.
Clear or Natural plastic would be safer, but even then, leave them to soak overnight in some vodka. This will at least draw out anything nasty that might otherwise dissolve in your drink.
Not trying to be a spoil sport or anything, and in 99% of cases it should be fine, just test it first! :). O
ther wise, great work.
Hi, I designed just a handle to a regular toothpick, so I guess that I am safe.
I like this design, may be someone can combine both ideas.
Thanks for the tip! I will definitely follow your suggestion. We need a supplier of food-grade plastic already! There are so many great food related items we could print.
