I want to make a cylindrical cup to measure milliliters but don’t know how to measure milliliters on Shapr3d. Do you have any ideas?

Well, it is a cubic centimeter by volume. Which is to also say that it is 10 1 centimeter squares 1 mm high.

You will need to know your cylinder diameter to begin with…

This might help. Your gonna need the help of Al Gebra depending on project requirements 😂

This also might help (I cheated). If this is true then every millimeter in height = a milliliter. [what is the diameter of a circle that is 10 square centimeters? - Wolfram|Alpha](https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=what+is+the+diameter+of+a+circle+that+is+10+square+centimeters%3F)
