Description

A cool juicer you just screw on a standard glass jar. Modern Upcycling.

These models were made a while back for project RE_, but now they are FREEEEE!
Come and vote for me on Instructables Make it real challenge! :http://www.instructables.com/id/Project-RE-by-Samuel-Bernier/

Instructions

Make sure you have the good jar. The opening should a standard 4 fillets lip, 66mm of diameter.
Most spaghetti sauce jars are this size. Just print and screw! This baby will rip your oranges in seconds.
I suggest you use food safe extrusion material.

That's great ! :-)

I printed it in... orange of course

Didn't get all the way through the print, but it doesn't fit the wide mouth pasta sauce jars that I have. It's the same width as a typical salsa jar I get here in the US. The ridges for threading are a little tough to print since there's no taper to them.

I wonder if the walls could be thinner. It appears to be quite a thick print. I do like the look of it versus some of the other juicers here though.

As to orientation, I find that if I start my model on the front plane in Solidworks, then it prints well. The front plan is analogous to the build bed.

Another trick I use is after the base of the item is done, I make the bottom face red. This avoids accidentally adding features to the wrong side.

Yes, I realised that a bit late ;)

Awesome design! But what is consideres "food safe extrusion material"?

raldrich on April 12, 2012 said:

The closest thing we've got to a food safe material is natural PLA, assuming that you're printing it with a nozzle that isn't contaminated with ABS.

If you really want to play it safe, give it a coating of food safe urethane paint.

any plastic taste?

cool concept tho...

samuel on April 11, 2012 said:

Yes, I do consider. I'm stll not sure about what format to use. .step, obj, .sat, or the original .sldprt... A suggestion?

ronthomp on April 13, 2012 said:

Iusually publish the STL for general use, but try to upload the original Solidworks files, as well. Don't forget to add Solidworks as a tag.

I just experimented with exporting a .3dm file containing 7 objects to .step, .sat and .iges from MoI3D. step appears to offer the smallest file size for a given geometry - it also retained object names which iges and sat did not. I think any of those three should be usable in most 3D CAD systems. No idea about the widespread usability of the obj format. Great concept! Looking forward to making one. :)

Would you consider releasing source files?

Fantastic design! This has rocketed up my 'Must Print' list. Now, anyone for Squeezed Orange?

Thav on April 10, 2012 said:

Get some errors from slic3r about the object not being manifold and self intersecting facets. Gcode looks fine, however. I would have to rotate this to print successfully. Could you rotate in the source program and re-export as STL?
