You Asked For It...
Hey Crafters,
After many requests for the dumpling basket lid, it is here!
This is great for market sellers that want to add the mystery/blind box effect that people love.
It was a bit of a design challenge but I'm proud to say that it prints with no supports! It also works with the original basket base so no need to print new ones.
You'll need to redownload the 3MF/STLs to use the updated version.
Happy printing!

Pretty new to 3D printing. I’m using an Anycubic Kobra X printer and I am using the Anycubic Slicer Next software. The basket lid keeps detaching from the plate and I don’t know why or how to fix it. I’ve tried lowering the print speed and AI also suggested adding a brim but I can’t figure out how. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I also struggle with the lid being too tight-- it seems to have gotten worse since a Bambu update?? Of course, I printed 100, and it's clear no small child could pry them off. Curious if anyone here has tried scaling up or another method, before I experiment? We tried sanding the inside rim a little but it hasn't helped, that's not a viable option.
Hi Sarah, feel free to try a few sizes scaled up if you need to!
Hi! Sorry for the question, but I'm new 😄 I'd like to subscribe just to download the steamer lid and create the complete clicker (I don't sell, I only make them for myself and my kids)... if I subscribe for a month, will the lid download still be mine or will it disappear at the end of the month? Thanks and congratulations, this design is beautiful 😍
Hey Sally, welcome! Once you sign up, the 3MF is yours. The link changes on a monthly basis though, so if you cancel you won’t be able to access future models.
i want a capybara
I have included a Capybara flexi, do you mean a clicker?
By secrets to getting the lifs off? The were hard to put on and now impossible to get off :(
You may need to scale it up slightly if it’s too tight.
Can you direct me to the correct type of clicker to purchase? I am so excited to print these!
Hi Rebecca! I recommend these: https://amzn.to/4e1o14C
how do I keep it from filling the tiny clicker insert area with support? It is impossible for me to get out.
It is blocked in the Bambu studio 3MF file automatically. If you using the STLs in another slicer you'll need to see if they have a support painting feature, then you can paint the inside as a no-support area.
Another question would it be possible to add a small lock in mechanism? Doesn’t have to be huge maybe just a 1/8 turn…something anything would be helpful!
Unfortunately I won't be adding anything else to this one, though feel free to modify the file as you please!
I figured out the failure was the reason why it wasn’t printing or applying brim is the bottom was “jagged” I had to slice a bit off the bottom
Good to know, thanks Joe! I didn't detect that because it drew as a perfect circle in Bambu, though I received multiple reports that Anycubic sliced the bottom differently.
Hello! Im new here. This might be obvious but I just want to make sure, how do we assemble the parts? do we need to glue the switch to the flat bottom of the dumpling?
Hi Clochel, welcome! The switch snaps in by itself, though glue may be needed if the piece with the plus hole is too loose when fitting with the switch.
Would love to see a sized up version of this if possible!
It kept failing and detaching from the plate do I need a brim and support and what support? Kx anycubic slicer.
A brim would be helpful, yes! You shouldn’t need any supports, but if the roof in the middle is collapsing, then yes, auto supports under 15° are fine.
Will these tops fit the original bottoms or will I need to reprint the entire thing
It fits with the original!
These flew off our table! Printing more as keychains
So glad to hear it!
Ahhh amazing, can't wait to print it
