I love fresh squeezed orange juice but don't have room in my tiny kitchen for a juicer. In addition when traveling I have to forgo fresh juice because even manual juicers are quite large.The goal of the design was to create a juicer which was as small as possible but still functional. In the first draft of the design the straining cutouts were too close to the supports and after a few uses the strainer began to break. I have increased the distance which will hopefully create a more robust juicer. The juicer is far from perfect and when i find more time I will improve it. As it is the size is tiny and perfect. However the juicing could be better. Firstly i would like a product which is stronger and can tolerate more force. The present design requires a light touch when juicing which means longer juicing time. Second the half circle juicing surface doesn't break apart the orange as well as I would like. Possibly adding teeth or indentations to the edge would help. I will cover construction in the comments of the second design file. <br></br><img alt="Juicer_009_showroom_image" src="http://assets2.ponoko.com/design_images/2899/1638/juicer_009_showroom_image.jpg" /> Sat, 19 Apr 2008 06:49:53 GMT http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/DiningRoomDesign/536?time=Wed+Jan+16+00%3A20%3A53+UTC+2008 DiningRoomDesign http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/DiningRoomDesign/538 This is the second file that completes the pair necessary to make a travel juicer. See first file for complete description of juicer. To build this juicer you will need to purchase both of these designs. For the first file you can make the pieces out of any 3mm thick plastic. The second file must be made of a 6mm plastic of which only clear is available. The construction is simple and the step by step guide is included in the photos. The only parts necessary is a good acrylic or general plastic glue. The two files create two identical juicers for a combined cost of about 35 dollars in parts and cutting. If you make the design please leave a message or review with comments or suggestions. <br></br><img alt="Juicer_001_showroom_image" src="http://assets0.ponoko.com/design_images/2899/1474/juicer_001_showroom_image.jpg" /> Sat, 19 Apr 2008 06:49:53 GMT http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/DiningRoomDesign/538?time=Wed+Jan+16+00%3A52%3A48+UTC+2008 DiningRoomDesign
