Design preview. Rendered from the file, not a photo.
This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Spiral design makes fluid travel up and down so you get a unique sipping experience.
- One-piece straw cup means fewer parts to wash, so cleanup is faster.
- Printed on demand just for you, so you get a custom kitchen tool shipped to your door.
- Conversation starter at parties; guests will ask how it actually works.
Imagine a drinking cup made from one long straw twisted into a spiral. When you sip, the fluid travels down through the spiral and comes back up, giving you a one-of-a-kind way to drink. You get a cup that works and surprises everyone who sees it.
Here is how it works: the straw coils from bottom to top. Sip at the end and watch the fluid follow the spiral path. It is a real cup you can actually use for water, juice, or your favorite drink.
Note: cleaning takes extra time because of the spiral shape. Most 3D printers make this cup slowly leak over a few hours, but it holds your drink long enough to enjoy it. This is a fun kitchen tool that works best as a conversation piece or occasional use.
