Summary

I love the novelty of the original Big StrawGlass, but it takes some lungs to draw some liquid goodness through all that straw.  So, I've remixed it to provide a more "practical" spiral straw that still looks like the original, but easier to clean, quenches the thirst and provides a better drain at the bottom of the glass.  In the picture above with two glasses, can you tell which one is the original?? hint

Just so people don't complain, you should strongly consider using food-safe plastic. Since I can think of so many other things to worry about, I printed in ABS and even vapor-washed it cause I'm cRaZy like that.

Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC

Printer: Rostock MAX

Rafts: Yes

Supports: No

Resolution: .20mm

Infill: 20%

Notes:

The original calls for 100% infill, don't do it unless you want the mid section of the glass to be solid as well.  During the design, I'm thinking Meshmixer must've solidified some of the interior tubes. Since they are not being used for a straw, I didn't see it necessary to fix it, soooo if you happen to print with any translucent materials you'll see the infill.  Besides, you'll want the empty walls to act as insulation! (another bonus!)
