Thing of the Week: Salt n Pepper Shakers
It’s been another really busy week on Thingiverse– there have been objects from the functional to the freaky this go round, from the second skull to arrive (from an MRI of the thingiverse member to post it!) to bike brackets to name tags for bottles, Thingiverse is swelling with products that digital fabrication makes available over software.
The win for this week though, goes to a pair of objects which are functional AND have a lot of design-value-added: these cute salt and pepper shakers by DesignGlut!
The DesignGlut shakers are a pro design, and it shows in their adorable look. Thingiverse is still new, and a lot of the time there’s only one of a given thing you might be looking for, but increasingly it’s got a chance to be there, and with designers like these, it won’t be long before many of the options are slick, professional designs!

This blog is amazing. The thing that gets me about these extrusion prints is the spaghetti aesthetic. I don’t have a problem with the look, but has anyone been experimenting with ways to smooth out the finish, say with an acid bath or lacquer or something? I’d love to see some glassy smooth or otherwise textured prints. It’d surely encourage more people to experiment with more types of objects.
Variety is the spice of life.
