My cast iron teapot came with an infuser I don't plan to use for steeping my loose leaf tea, but that means I'll need to filter out the tea leaves when pouring the tea into the cup. So I've printed a little holder for the infuser so I can pour the tea through it into the cup and use it as a strainer.

Along with the stl file customized for the cup and infuser I had, I've uploaded the openscad file so you can plug in different dimensions to print your own custom holder.

I have no idea if it actually works since I haven't had a chance to make any tea yet, but I figured I can come back and update this when I know more.

More info is available on my web page: https://tomhorsley.com/hardware/solidoodle/solidoodle-tea.html

Gave it a try this morning and it would have worked, but no tea leaves made it out of the pot. It will be ready for the day some do escape though, so I'll probably keep using it.
