This is a remix of HappyMoon’s “Floating Cup Sculpture” which I imagine about everyone has seen before. I didn’t want to try to print the spilling liquid of the “full water” STL using supports that would mess up the surface appearance of the spilling liquid. And I wasn’t able to cleanly assemble the three separate pieces that were given as alternate STLs by HappyMoon as I couldn’t easily position the pieces to hold them in place while glue set nor position them precisely enough to use an instant-hold type glue. My first attempt to assemble the three parts turned out to be a mess, and I ended up just welding the “Inside Mug” part to the “Stream” part with a soldering gun and that didn’t look very good.

So this remix takes HappyMoon’s :”full water” file and re-cuts the “splash” part from the “stream” + the “Inner Mug” parts, with places to insert alignment pins for precision and to hold the “water” together while adhesive sets. There is also an STL for the pins to use (two of them needed). I used 2-part slow-set epoxy to hold it together

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!


Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!
