ShotGlass TopMod Tutorial

This is a quick and dirty tutorial of the design process in TopMod for a shotglass you can print with a 3D printer like a RepRap or a MakerBot.

It is traditional to print a glass to toast the new 'bot with, as the very first object it prints... and I felt like the shotglass should not look like it could have been made with a more traditional machine tool like a lathe, or like it came out of a mold.

How is that a glass O_o"? arent shot glasses little tiny glasses that u put elchihol in and drink it at once??

The idea is to print it out in your brand new 3D printer, shot-glass sized, and toast the wonders of technology with it. :-)

I wanted to design something that would be hard to make with any other manufacturing method, but still be usable as a shot glass.

Might even be a one-shot glass, since cleaning it would obviously be a challenge!
