Needed some new Heartfelt bead holders for my small humidor

So I 3d printed some.  I didn't design these I downloaded the model off of Thingiverse.   It is pretty cool what you can make with 3d printers.  The cap is threaded so it screws into the body the print for both the body and the cap only took 2 hours.

Sure beats the girlfriend's old tights that I use.

Curious what the “cost” is to print something like this. Are material cost cheap and what about the printer?

The cost of the material is about $0.25.   The printer cost about $240.

That’s really cool, how much does it hold?

Ok, I have no idea what I’d use a 3D printer for, but that’s pretty awesome.

That is really cool.  Are 3D printers available to the public?

Sorry to get back so late it holds 1oz of dry Heartfelt beads.  There are bigger sized ones that hold 3-4 times that amount.

There are 3d printers at some libraries.   They just charge you by the amount of filament your print takes.
