Lightweight Epoxy Mixing Tool + Dish

A lightweight mixing spatula and dish for mixing small amounts of two-part epoxy. I ran out of popsicle sticks and didn't want to produce too much plastic waste with the substitute. The dish uses just over 1g of filament, the inserts around 0.8-0.9g each. PLA is recommended since it's somewhat biodegradable.

How To Print:

General:

• A nozzle/line size of 0.4-0.5mm is assumed
• Layer heights of 0.2mm are assumed

Dish:

• The dish is meant to print in vase/contour mode. Use 0.4-0.5mm walls and two bottom shells. 1 shell may have small holes and 3+ is using unneeded plastic. 

Pen:

• Print it normally with 2-3 walls and 4+ shells, make sure the printed model is clean and precise. 

Toolhead: 

• To save material the inserts are made to print well with a single wall and no infill. Set top/bottom shells to 2, infill to 0%, walls to 1, and print. Print only one to start with, to test the fit.

Fitting:

• Push the toolhead insert into the pen body, it may be very tight the first time if the bridging isn't perfect, if so, try to break it in, but more than likely it will get stuck and not want to come back out. You should be able to remove the insert without too much resistance, but you also want it to be snug so the insert doesn't fall out on it's own. Each printer will behave a bit differently, so if it's too tight, scale the pen body up by 1-2% at a time and reprint until your happy with it.

There is also a blank insert onto which you can boolean a custom toolhead. I hope you find it useful, and if you make any custom toolheads please consider posting them as a remix so others can use them too  :3
