Amazed at the nifty math of the Parametric Measuring Cup that allows me to make cups of any size I like, I added text labels so that I can see the size of each cup.

The label is inset into the bottom of the bottom of the measuring cup (the part on the table), and is raised on the top of the bottom of the measuring cup (the part you see when filling it up). So, yes, this cup now under-measures by the volume of the raised text.

Instructions

Edit the OpenSCAD file to set the cup's volume and label, and label_len.

Also download bitmap.scad from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2054 .

For example, the uncommented one below will be printed:

cups = 1; label="1 cup"; label_len = 5;

//cups = 2; label="2 cups"; label_len = 6;

//tbsp = 1; label="1 tablespoon"; label_len = 12;

//tsp = 1; label="1 teaspoon"; label_len = 10;

//mL = 10; label = "10 mL"; label_len=5;

Add your own measurements to the list!

Generate the STL and print it. Use PLA, which is "food safe".

And thank Griffin Nicoll for the seriously cool math!
