Unique skull cup holders: a little comfort at work

Whether you're at home or in the middle of a busy day at work, a cup of coffee on your desk may be the only reason to stop and take a breather. Wouldn't you smile if at that moment you had a unique skull cup holder padded underneath your cup - exquisitely shaped, with realistic details and a few hints of humor? The skull cup holder is not only a practical desktop tool, but also a small pressure reducer. Its quirky design adds a unique personality to the tabletop and makes ordinary drinking moments fun.

Why print your own skull cup holder?

Unique skull cup holders are not common on the market, but few truly reflect individual aesthetics and creativity. With 3D printing technology, you can design and create your own one-of-a-kind cup holder. Choose the skull shape not only because it's cool and fun, but also because it perfectly embodies the spirit of individuality. Whether it's a detailed bone texture or a cool, unique color, it's all up to you. The whole process from design to finished product is also a fun creative experience.

Why choose PLA Plus filament?

The 3D printing material determines the quality, effect and experience of the finished product. Although there are many kinds of printing filament on the market, such as ABS, PETG, etc., PLA Plus is undoubtedly the best choice for printing the Skull Cup Holder, let's take a look at the advantages of PLA plus printing filament.

1. Appearance

The surface of PLA Plus filament is very smooth and delicate, which can well reproduce the intricate details of the skull cup holder and make the cup holder look more beautiful.

Print preparation: making a skull cup holder

Before you start printing, you need to make preparations:

1. Equipment Check

Make sure your 3D printer is working properly, has clean nozzles, correct temperature settings, and is compatible with 1.75mmFDM to ensure seamless integration and reliable performance.

2. Design Model

Select or download a 3D model of the skull cup holder (available from online platforms or design your own).

3. Print Parameter Settings

According to the model I chose so far, the layer height is set to 0.18mm, so that the surface of the printed cup holder will be more delicate, the height of the first layer is set to 0.2mm, the number of wall layers is set to 2, and the fill rate is set to 15%, so that the cup holder can be made to ensure the quality, and also upward to select the practicality of the spiral filling pattern, and the printing temperature is kept at 200-220℃.

4. Bonding of the base plate

In order to prevent warping, you can use glue stick or blue tape to ensure that the print is firmly fixed on the base plate.

1. During the printing process, observe whether the print head moves smoothly and make sure the prints are not detached from the base plate.

2. Use a well-ventilated environment, if your local ambient temperature is high, you can open the door of the 3D printing appropriately to better increase the heat dissipation, even if the PLA Plus filament is environmentally safe, try to minimize the prolonged inhalation of the particles that may be generated during the printing process.

Enjoying the Aftermath of Printing

When the printer finishes the last layer of the print, your hand-crafted skull cup holder is in view. Remove the print and sand or color it slightly to refine it. Here's how I printed the skull cup holder using Hyper pla plus filament.

Put your favorite mug on it, pour a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy this one-of-a-kind piece! Maybe it will even become the “talk of the town” among your coworkers, earning you many compliments. Even better, every time you see it, you'll be reminded of the process of creation and the satisfaction it brings you, freeing you from your busy schedule.
