I call it: The Nut Master 3000 🤯
I got the idea for this design from the bird feeder cover image from the PET-Bottle Upcycling contest.

Since my wife eats a lot of nuts and always needs to have 2 bowls on the table I thought this could be a nice thing to design to have standing on the table instead.

I created it to work with the bigger (750g, 825g or 1000g) Nutella glasses since I had 3 left lying around to maybe print additional candy dispensers. Also works with German honey jars.

I printed it in Prusament “Oh my Gold” PLA

Known Problems

As you can see the bottom outer circumference is rounded with 15 mm, I couldn't get it to print nicely 
a) with painted on supports (they didn't come off well, probably because of the organic design) or 
b) with very small variable layer heigh on the bottom 10 mm

If somebody has an idea how to print the bottom part nicely I would be happy to read about it in the comments - alternatively you can just change the Fusion360 file to maybe only have 6 or 8 mm rounded corner.
The taller version has the variable layer height 3mf file which didn't work for me (see picture 2) as well as one with very small custom supports I didn't try out yet - I will keep you posted if this one works…
 

Also, when slicing the 3mf models, PrusaSlicer makes a bad decision when printing the end of the screw thread (see last picture). I'm pretty sure this is because I didn't join the parts in Fusion360, if you use the .stl it slices nicely.
