The Mighty Acorn

Maybe I am going nuts. I just designed this container/bowl in the shape of an oak tree acorn. This is an original design from me, but I feel certain it isn’t the first of it’s design. The acorn design has seen many applications and uses in art and crafted items. Many uses in military regalia.
This is designed in Fusion 360. It has three major parts. The removable cap, which is the lid. The acorn nut which is the bowl. Then the stand in which the bowl stands upright.

Choosing quality over quantity is my constant resolve with 3D printing.
I have always had a bit of a personal guilt feeling making figuratively tons of plastic printed junque. (junk). Just because I could.
There is a place for some of that. The problem for me is plastic has an intrinsic low-value (cheap) aura. It’s been hard for me to feel that something I have made from plastic is going to have a long-term value.

The Snapmaker J1S has become my favorite, extremely reliable, go-to FDM 3D print system. It started life as a pre-order J1 and I added the case fan kit about 6 weeks ago. That makes it a J1S.
The machine was not without some faults at the beginning.

Tried a new CAD (Computer Aided Design) I haven’t used before. It’s called Onshape.
I have used a fair number of different CAD applications. For 3D CAD, I have been a long user of Autodesk Fusion 360. I own a single user paid license. It will expire in about 6 months. A three year renewal is $1400 (list) without a sale or renewal discount.
