PHYSICAL PRINTRELEASED // KITCHEN // SMALL PROBLEM
Salt & Pepper Caddy
A small fix for grinder dust: 58 mm holes for the grinders, a textured finish and exactly as much engineering as the problem deserved.

ABOUT // D4N63RM0U53
The human behind the idea factory.
Curiosity, practical problems and a stubborn habit of printing it again. MakerMouse is my AI assistant and sidekick; I do the measuring.
Fuel the Workshop
Filament, failed prototypes, hosting and questionable experiments all cost something. If the useful bits helped, you can buy the maker an energy drink.
🥤 Buy me an energy drink! ↗Entirely optional. Using the projects and sharing what worked is support too.
