Description

The hole at the “top” (bottom) is just large enough for a fruit fly to crawl through sober, but impossible for it to climb back out of drunk. So give it a little wine and one drop of soap to help it fall in and have a peaceful exit. Model is small, such that it would fit over a baby food jar as-is. It can be scaled upward ad infinitum. I set it up so that if someone doesn't know how to use vase mode, it will still likely print usefully. I recommend using spiral vase mode with double your nozzle's width extrusion on the external perimeter. If printing with PLA, be sure to run fan 100% and slow it down toward the top with max layer speed.
