Micro Flasks Resized!
🕑 Added 2021-02-08 12:09:03 +0000 UTCHowdy, wonderful people!
It's always interesting to look back on how we've hopped from one idea to the next, choosing one path rather than another. The Micro Flask was right in the middle of things like the Oilcan Flask and the Square Flasks, a stepping stone in 50mm cylinder form. I had a request, though, for a longer version, so here we are!
The big question, though, was where to place the label as the containers grew. It's probably obvious in hindsight that having labels up high is always going to be more useful when these things are bunched together :)
Printing Tips
As with the original Micro Flask, both the container and the lid print right-way-up. Easy print, generous tolerances!

Further Thoughts
It's always fun to revisit designs, especially when making improvements! Requests are always welcome (the suggestions channel on discord is the best place), though I can't guarantee that everything will get actioned :)
Happy printing!

Can you make a flask with steel stripes texture /metal theme

Ah awesome! I use the original size a bit and couldn't help but hope for a larger size myself. As usual awesome work!

I guess you could scale the prints in the slicer if you slice the tube and the screw lid by the same percentage. EDIT - yep, in Cura you can scale just X and Y axis by the same amount and leave Z height the same in order to make the cylinder and lid wider. Hope that helps!

And bit wider would be good too.
