Decided I wanted a bespoke little measuring and pouring container for my unexpectedly diverse windscreen washing fluid collection. This little guy is a 38mm hollow cube with 1mm thick walls, approximately 45mL of volume, and a little spout for accurate pouring. I flattened one corner and printed it on that, and the resulting object is surprisingly strong for how dainty it is.
I will probably do the final version in clear polycarbonate for looks, and maybe even resin coat it. #3DPrinting

Revisited this idea today and topped off the cube-jar with an M12-1.75 thread, modeled with #BoltGen in #Rhino3D and then physically cut into the correct geometry using the M12 die from my cheap metric tap-and-die set. That seems to have worked, so next up is a matching lid with a thread to be cut with the same kit. This was also printed with random seam placement and scarf joint seams - that seems to work well these days, leaving an interesting but not undesirable texture. #3DPrinting
