Having a little wine
Continuing on the beverage container theme, we now have a wine glass. Actually, we now have two. Measuring the second shows a 72.9mm height, compared with the expected 70mm so I have tweaked the Z scaling accordingly.
Why the beverage glass fetish? Well, apart from being an old soak, they're not very taxing on the construction algorithm and it's obvious when they are either not watertight or asymmetrical. Also, I wanted to do overhangs, and a thin-stemmed glass looked to be a good demonstration of the ability of the RepRap to do overhangs.

For those who prefer mixers
One martini glass. Now the reprap's head doesn't bob around, I can make some surprisingly delicate structures. This object was printed without any forced cooling - or cooling delays - at all.
Yes, it's watertight.
