YANC yet another nutcracker

I was looking to build a nutcracker for the upcoming season.

Quickly I decided for the screw type (less prone to "overcracking" the nut)

Target object should be walnuts.

I wanted the cup to be closed at one end in order to catch the finer debris an I also wanted to use a trapezoidal thread for the screw.

Since I was unable to find a proper design on Thingiverse I created one.

I opted for the "Hex" design style, maybe I will even print some spanners to use the cracker with in order for the cracker to be useable for my Kids.

If you plan to realize it in two colors I would recommend to actually print one set per color and the after you have broken in the threads mix the two.
