Summary
I like to make canisters for various things. I made a bunch of different ones for things like asprin/nsaids/tums so I can keep them in my work bag. I also have made some to hold gum as I like to chew gum after eating if I can't brush. This is my latest. Plus it gave me a chance to play around with cura plugins and seeing how they would work with octopi/print and I am now using Marlin4MPMD. The file name is colorful, it took 5 attempts to get it right.
In the photos there are three different types of gum and some generic Ibuprofin.
I went 25% infill because it only took 5 extra minutes versus 5% infill.
I used ironing and not just top layer, it adds alot of time but I think it is worth it it takes some of the shine away from the silk black color and makes it more mattee almost like a flat grey color. (My phone doesn't take very good photos with the light coming through the window, sorry).
Gum is embossed on one side and de-bossed on the other
Added some photos top bottom and side to show how the filmaent looks even in the bad lighting.
It would have been a solid color but the TTY3D silk black came with a bunch of 1m samples in other colors and being a delta printer bowden tube I can really use them for anything else so I used them for accents and it gave me an excuse to play around with cura post-processing.

Notes:
I used a 20mm brim around the part so I could lay down painters tape to print right on the glass needs tape or it will move if right on the glass. one of the trial one was just printed right on the tape I was testing and didn't care if it had a mirror like surface.
