A really beautiful object that's caused more comment than anything else in my kitchen. I've made it my Thing of the Week on http://3dgeni.us so do take a look and leave a comment!

That's awesome, thanks! It's cool to see one at full size, I haven't tried that myself. Looks like a great site.

Which model printer did you use for this? Looks great!

Thanks! I used an Afinia H-Series 3D Printer (same as the Up! Plus)

Great design and a blast to print! Thanks for this one...

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

How long did it take to print?

I think the prints in the pictures took around 1-2 hours each, but they're significantly smaller than the original dimensions.

Yes. Awesome. Do you know if this is safe with all common printer plastics?

Many people have talked about nothing being food safe if made in an FDM machine. The reason is that not only is ABS made for the machines not food safe, but that also there are parts of the machine that are not food safe that comes in contact with the melted plastic.

So even if the PLA itself is food safe, it will be contaminated with non food safe materials in the process of making it. It probably wouldn't effect you very quickly, but it could take years off your life. I don't think it's worth the risk.

Hopefully someone who knows more about this will answer, but I believe ABS is not food safe. Some PLA plastics claim to be food safe, but I don't know if they all are.

Does this print without support?

Looks absolutely possible without support.
