Halloween is just around the corner and what better way to add a little spooky decor than to 3D print [DaveMakesStuff]’s Teeth Cup.
It looks like [DaveMakesStuff] has done the equivalent of “kit bashing” by taking 3D models of a full teeth set and merging them with a tea cup. Details are pretty light but a Twitter thread (Nitter)has some clues about the process. The cup looks like it can be done in one print, support free. The smooth finish comes from bead blasting it which, as an added bonus in this case, provides the “dirty” look as the bead blaster is only normally used on nylon SLS prints.
Halloween is always a good source of inspiration for hacker projects and we’ve had many good entries from Halloween Hackfests of the past.

Using this cup will leave a dent in your reputation amongst co-workers.
*sees myself out*
I may not be bright, this joke will leaves an aftertaste, something to chew on, but well, bite me it this isnt your cup of tea and you can’t swallow no more!
A cup of tea that one could really sink their teeth into!
Time to brush up on your teas and select find one with a bite to it. Filling this cup is then sure to make quite an impression.
Nicht witzig. Ich mag keine Wortwitze. 😒
That really sells the look, a little coloured pattern probably in blue and some gold gilt, and it really would seem like old slightly dirty real classy teacup at a glance, the shape and profile of the handle are just so right. Though that may make it just a little too disguised if you did it well, and actually spoil the effect if done badly.
NO…
You getting that Giger vibe too?
Teeth ought to be a tad sharper and more pointy for a Giger-ish look, but yes, that’s going in the right direction…
Or kind of wet and semi-metallic looking, to really get there. But in a way, actually lacking those qualities kind of makes it all the creepier, I think
Giger is WAY creepier then you guys realize. Teeth should be surrounded by distorted labia. Penis handle with bites out of it.
I’m not going to image search for ‘Education Chart No. 5 for Enlightenment of Gullenen’ (umlaut on the u) and you shouldn’t either. Likely put you on a list. Hopefully Google didn’t index it.
But I’ve got the coffee table book. Glad my German is weak. Don’t really want to know what the text reads.
Oops, translation is on opposite page…basically says ‘mind your own business’…has Education charts 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7. How bad were 3 and 4?
If I told you what #5 showed, you wouldn’t believe me and the post would be deleted FOR SURE. Image would be deleted from 4chan, though it’s not illegal per se. Just beyond creepy, by a mile.
Don’t search for it!
I warned you not to search.
Thanks so much for featuring my teeth cup and saucer!

I’m printing the cup right now. It’s nice that it’s set up perfectly to require no support.
Printed the saucer last night, overhang on bottom looks terrible. Perhaps if printed on it’s side with some supports under the molars.
If someone gave me it like “I’m leaving the country and this is my favorite thing to remember me by, use it” I guess I’d have to plant a cactus in it.
Seems like the perfect gift for a dentist…
I’m a dentiut. No thanks…
That should say: “I’m a dentist. No thanks.”

Dentalcavitea,
Just imagining the texture of someone’s teeth in my mouth horrifyingly makes me wanna gag. So, +1 I guess?
The first use of this cup at work should be accompanied by a well-worn paperback about Jeffrey Dahmer.
Punchline: When I collected enough noses, I was going to open a Dahmer Nose Pizzeria.
I’ll see myself out.
Is a hot beverage safe in a 3d printed cup material. I wouldn’t drink out of that.
This is not food grade.
Made from ex’s teeth?:D
