Sometimes you've just can't help but throw your hands up in frustration at clogged printer nozzles, bed adhesion issues, broken filament and the multitude of other frustrations that we just can't avoid sometimes. My reaction to such things seems to be to go design something silly. Like this thing!
Yes, it's an arrangement of little dot jars! A bouquet? Who knows, really! Suffice to say that this is not intended to be in any way useful or practical :P
That said, there are still a few design considerations to mention. Firstly, since all the jars are at 45 degrees, the threads on top of the jars would not be printable, so those are truncated accordingly, and now print just fine. There's a similar overhang on the inside of the jars, but nobody can see that, so nobody needs to know, right?!
In terms of the overlap internally, I decided that the jars could intrude into each other from only one side, and that the interior jar would be cut into by the exterior ones, but not vice versa.
You'll also notice some silly lid designs! These lids are all included in subdirectories, split into multiple STLs. However, the regular lid for the little dot jars fit just fine on the MultiJar, and vice versa.
Printing Tips
Designed for straightforward printing, despite how it looks! This shouldn't be too troublesome :) It prints right-side-up, like so:
As for the lids, you'll find the split STLs on dropbox, and if you're doing multimaterial stuff then I'll assume you know how to work with those files. If anything isn't clear, though, let me know! The Discord server is also a good place to look for printing assistance, and there are some very clever and helpful people on there :)
File Location
You'll find this on dropbox under 756 MultiJar!

Further Thoughts
Sometimes 3D printing is just silly and fun, and that's the way I like it :)
