What it is

A simple device to make creating joints even easier. Designed for “Classic” size (1 ¼).

Why tho

My wife and I live in a legal state in the US and sometimes want a joint, but neither of us has those kind of “skills” so we use those RAW cones. They are nice, but filling them can still be a little annoying and messy.

It's honestly a little embarrassing uploading a paraphernalia related model but it's been useful and the magnet contest motivated me to design a (much better) version which you see here. 

How to use it

  • Take off the lid, or just rotate it out of the way using the tamper as the axis.
  • Put a cone as far down as it'll go in the filling hole (the one with view ports)
    • NOTE: don't shove it, there should be about 0.5 cm sticking out
  • Carefully place the lid back on, lining up the funnel with the cone
  • Fill it using the funnel in the lid. Use the tamper when needed.
  • If ya want, you can store a spare cone in the middle of the bottom piece
    • NOTE: this one should not stick out from the base at all. If it does, you probs got some stringing up in that #hole or #something

Printing & Assembly Notes

I didn't experiment much, so mostly just telling you what I did, but please play around.

Decisions:

  • Decide which top design you prefer. I like the wider one for reduced mess (easier to drop a pinch of stuff in there without some falling off the side), but the smaller one is a bit more elegant / is completely flush with the body. Or print both.

Settings

  • Nozzle:         0.4 or 0.6 (I think the pics here were done with a 0.6)
  • Material:        PETG
  • Supports:     no sir
  • Orientation: Print top / bottom right side up. Print tamper on it's side (flat side) with the magnet hole facing up

Assembly

  • Insert 5 mm diameter / 2 mm thickness neodymium magnets into magnet holes
    • Pay close attention to the polarity…
    • I didn't end up using any glue, but YMMV
    • TIP: insert all of the magnets on the body first, then attach a magnet to each of the newly embedded ones in the body. Now, just press the lid on to embed into the lid with the right polarity.
    • TIP: For the magnets in the side of the lid, you can use multiple for more stick holding strength. I used 2. You can always push them all the way through to recover the magnets if you change your mind.

 

-------------------- Changelog --------------------

6/22/23 - finally added pics of the new design (larger lid part)

6/12/23 

  • Created a new top piece that's wider at the top for reduced spillage. Fits on the same body, but flares out at the top so perhaps not as elegant / pocketable. Worth it for me tho.
  • Added an extra magnet for stability in both the lid and body. Other magnets have not moved so you can still print a new top for an old version of the body, etc.
  • Wider holes on the bottom of the body to help with clearing out the tubes when material gets stuck down there.

6/3/23 - Deepened the top to hold more material while filling.

4/29/23 - Reduced diameter of tamping stick / tamping stick storage tube for better clearance in the loading funnel.
