This is a 3D-printable version of the classic Pythagoras cup, also known as the Greedy Cup. The design features an internal siphon mechanism that drains the cup if the liquid level exceeds a certain point, demonstrating the principle of moderation. It's a fun and functional design that can serve as a great conversation starter.

Printing Instructions:

No internal supports: To ensure the siphon works properly and remains clear, do not use supports inside the siphon tube. Supports may help improve the overall print quality, but make sure the internal area stays free of them.

Supports (optional): External supports can help with overhangs and will likely improve the overall print quality, but they are not strictly necessary.

Infill: 30% infill or higher is recommended for better structural integrity.

Material: I printed this in PLA, but you can experiment with other materials.

Enjoy printing, and make sure to share your makes!
