Tea bag (moose) mug holder

Boost MeThanks for your support ❤️

Comments and especially your pictures are sooo welcome.

 

Update on 14th of November 2024

See below -> supports

 

If you want to print this with the mobile app take the print plate 3. On print plate 1 and 2 is a changeable text on the bottom of the “backpack” for your name, for example.

 

This little thing can be attached to the side of a mug to hold a tea bag. The horns can hold the cord while the bag is in the mug and the backpack can later on hold the tea bag if the brewing time is over.

 

I printed it with PLA which works fine in our dishwasher with the ECO program.

The moose has a strong neck ;-) and is very stiff there. I added a modifier in Bambu Studio to have it 100% filled there:

 

The supports are not anymore only placed under the nose and the horns.

Where both parts connect, generally no supports are necessary because of the circles and the cross direction of the bridge and infill. But last time it happend to me that the head was kicked down from the supports by the nozzle tip. So I decided to use better supports that are under the inner head, too. They are not heavier than tree supports.

Additionally, I slowed down the print and travel speed in the connecting area.

I recommend to use my unchanged print profile. I printed many of them. ;-)

The support-removal still works fine. Start loosening under the horns and then shift the rest to the side; away from the moose-face.

 

In actual slicer versions you can easily change the text with the text tool of Bambu Studio.

There is a print plate “No AMS”, too. There, I have added the text as a not embedded part to print everything in the same color.

 

The print has a variable layer height to gain much quality at the horns together with a fast print.

 

The seams are now not as visible anymore.
