Tiny Skull Jars!
Added 2021-08-25 13:26:08 +0000 UTCHey there, my favourite people!
Do you need tiny tiny jars in your life? Tiny jars with skulls on them, and with tiny screw-in stopper lids? Of course you do! There aren't really many things you could fit in these tiny, tiny jars, but probably things like eye of newt. Not all that many eyes, though.
Despite their size, these little vessels are intended for FDM printing, and just enough detail to be manageable with a standard nozzle and some thinner layer lines. My test prints here were printed with 0.1mm layers.
Printing Tips
This is a tiny model, and you'll probably want to use fairly thin layer lines to bring out what little detail a standard nozzle can manage! As mentioned above, I used 0.1mm for these test prints.
The lid has a reasonably generous tolerance, but can be resized a little (or the perimeter expanded/contracted in your slicer if you're so inclined) for a tighter or looser fit. It's such a tiny model that it's easy to experiment with settings to find what works for your setup :)
The lid and jar print right-way-up, like so:
Print Dimensions
The jar occupies about 18mm x 18mm on the bed, and is 17mm tall.
The lid occupies 14mm x 14mm and is 9mm tall.

Further Thoughts
I did originally have "eye of newt" written in little archaic letters on the side of these, but that was unsurprisingly unsuccessful when it came to slicing, let alone printing, hence the inclusion of the little skull instead. I like the skull better anyway!

sometimes the best prints are the tiny prints!
2021-08-28 23:31:24 +0000 UTCSuperb, can't stop printing these :)
2021-08-27 06:22:36 +0000 UTCCuteness overload, I will print an army of these.

2021-08-26 02:45:01 +0000 UTCThese are perfect for my daughters Halloween Barbie setup! (Halloween is a pretty big deal in our house!)
2021-08-26 00:54:35 +0000 UTCI'll leave them printing but they don't look great on the print bed so far. Might have to look at levelling again :-)

2021-08-25 17:45:35 +0000 UTCI plan on scaling this up a bit and use as salt and pepper cellars using white and black marbled filament for the jars and wood filament for the corks. Maybe even stain the corks. Thanks for the cool design!

2021-08-25 13:38:55 +0000 UTCIsn't PolyTerra great? You probably already noticed that mine were PolyTerra (well, not the lids, but I'm excited for the Peanut colour that's on the way!)

2021-08-25 13:38:43 +0000 UTCHmm.... this could be a fun flex with the shiny silk copper I have, to see if it will come out ok in finer detail. :)

2021-08-25 13:34:28 +0000 UTCI'm in love with polyterra right now, so probably cotton candy, teal, purple, yellow and lava red, then some purple and silver glitters! I've been printing teeth and this would make a cool addition to a tooth fairy project im working on!

2021-08-25 13:29:30 +0000 UTCThese will make excellent board game counters, but Iβll make try a bit bigger, as well.
2021-08-25 13:29:13 +0000 UTCHaha, yay! But in which colours?!

2021-08-25 13:28:22 +0000 UTCThese are amazing! I need to print so many of them π€©π€£ thank you!
