Description

This is a Choke Hazard Test Cylinder, as described in U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's Small Parts for Toys and Children's Products Business Guide.

Any part or toy, including pieces that can break off from the toy, which fit completely in this cylinder, can be considered a potential choking hazard. 

Please verify dimensions after printing. DO NOT SCALE. Changing the size of the printed cylinder will invalidate any tests and defeat the purpose of this test cylinder entirely.

A short explanation of how it's used would be helpful! As someone with a 3D printer I'd love to make sure that the items I print for my friends with kids aren't likely to choke one of the younger siblings!

Thanks for the feedback. I've added a little more in the description. I originally made this to test for chokable foods for my baby, I'm glad you mentioned using it to test 3D prints. That's a great idea!
