“Unpacked” my 3D printer. Designed and hastily printed a lid for the multicooker. Originally, the steam would shoot up like a fountain, causing half the kitchen to be covered in grease. Simply covering the valve with, say, a towel, would result in both the towel (not a big deal) and the entire multicooker (not great) getting greasy. Initially, the idea was to divert the steam into a special channel, but the pressure there bounces everything off regardless. Now I’m experimenting with diverting the steam into a glass via a tube. Overall, it’s working, but it would be wise to reprint it on an SLA printer since the temperatures are high and the PLA plastic surely won’t last long.
