Description
It is a chopstick rest that telescopes out to be a carrying case for your chopsticks. Bring your own chopsticks with wherever you go with, and eat with happiness and style.
Prints in 3 parts. I print the cap with the the embossed Japanese Character (Happiness) facing up. Takes a bit of supports, but the top comes out very nicely, especially with ironing on.
I print the body with the flat side of the opening down. I use supports on the lettering (It's Delicious), but might not be necessary.
The telescoping part was a bit trickier to print. I ended up printing it with the closed bottom facing up. Takes a bit of support, but, due to the chamfer on the telescoping end, it prints much nicer this way. Supports are pretty easy to remove.
I printed it at .15 quality with a .4 nozzle. I had issues with sticking, and found that scaling it to 101% and slowing the printer down seems to have done the trick.
Only holds one pair of chopsticks, used two in the photos to show the size.
