(Photo is of slightly older version. Printed with 100µm FDM, material ASA, 20% infill, by these guys.)

Code is parametric so one should be able to easily adapt to one's needs.

Ideas/principles

  • Tolerances so that capsules within specified tolerances can be worked with.
  • Should be printable with little to no support material.
  • Hole on the bottom so that capsule won't get stuck by pressure (inspired by Thingverse's thing).
  • Should be lightweight enough to be used on milligram scale. (They are more precise further from 0g, so it can also serve as additional weight.)
  • Should be easy to clean (no sharp inner angles).
