Looking for somewhere to store your scoop when it's not in use? Check out my Parametric Scoop Holder Ring — a custom-fit collar ring that clips onto your supplement jug and holds your scoop handle right on the outside of the jar. It's fully parametric, so you can dial it in to match any jug and any scoop handle. Print both together for a complete custom supplement system.

🎨 Multi-Color Printing

The text and scoop can be printed in different colors using your slicer's color painting tool. No special export needed — just use the STL as downloaded.

Recommended method — Color Painting in Orca Slicer / Bambu Studio / Anycubic Slicer:

1. Import the downloaded STL
2. Right-click the model and select Color Painting
3. Use the brush to paint over the text area
4. Assign a different filament to that painted region
5. Slice and print!

Note: Due to a limitation of the MakerWorld interface, multi-color objects are merged into a single mesh on download. Color painting in your slicer is the most reliable workaround and produces excellent results.

For OpenSCAD users only: If you download the .scad source file, set separate_text_for_multicolor = true before exporting your STL. Import into your slicer and use Split to Objects to assign filaments separately.

⚠️ Food Safety Note

Food safety depends on your filament choice and post-processing. Use food-safe filament (PETG recommended) and consider sealing with food-safe epoxy for use with consumables. Hand wash only.

📋 Customization Tips

For tiny scoops (1-5cc): Handle automatically narrows to match the small bowl For large scoops (60-120cc): Consider increasing wall thickness to 2.0-2.5mm Leave Thick 3 at 1.5mm for best results Note: The customizer preview shows the channel and text facing up. Bowl opening faces down in print orientation.
