The file 'Egonomic Parametric THC Scraper/spoon 3D Printer Model' is (scad,stl) file type, size is 583.3KB.

Summary

Made by request: This is a spoon/scraper combo, intended to aid in the collection of THC crystals from a cannabis harvest. Two versions are included, short and long. The long one is 245 mm long, which should fit on most build plates.

Features:

  • ergonomic handle, comfortable to hold
  • a spoon on one end
  • a scraper on the other end
  • scraper is sharpened on three edges
  • top of the scraper is recessed to serve as a scoop

Basically I made this as a reason to figure out the 3D problem of making a square spoon with a round bowl, which I had been wanting to do for a while but never had a practical use until now. The spoon profile is known as a "squircle", a hybrid between a square and a circle controlled by a squareness parameter ranging between 0 (circle) and 1 (square).

Everything is parametric in the thcspoon.scad file, if you want to change anything:

  • Spoon length, width, depth, and squareness
  • Handle width, height, and length
  • Scraper width, length, and thickness

Printing

Print any way you want.

  • I recommend adaptive layer height.
  • This doesn't need supports; all negative slopes are printer-friendly.
  • You may need a helper disc ("mouse ear") touching the spoon end to hold it down, because this is a long thin part that may warp as it prints if you don't have good adhesion. It worked for me without a mouse ear, however.
