3D printed small cookie sized STOREO storage container

Small 3D printed cookie sized storage container.

As useful as it is cute!  Kids and adults love this.  Makes a very unique gift to keep trinkets, snacks, or the TV remote stored in.  Kids will love to hide things away in this or play a joke on someone!

Measurements:

1 3/4" wide x 3/4" thick

Printed from safe PLA filaments.

PLA (polylactic acid) filament is made from . The process involves fermenting these plant sugars to create lactic acid, which is then polymerized into long chains of polylactic acid. 

The manufacturing process

• • Fermentation: Starch is extracted from plants and converted into glucose (sugar). Microorganisms then ferment the glucose to produce lactic acid.

  • Polymerization: The lactic acid molecules are chemically linked together to form long polymer chains. This can be done directly or by first creating a ring-shaped molecule called lactide and then polymerizing it.

  • Extrusion: The resulting polylactic acid polymer is heated and melted, then pushed through a nozzle to create a thin, continuous filament.

Cooling and spooling: The filament is rapidly cooled to maintain its shape and then wound onto a spool for use in 3D printers.
