Hold onto your carrots! Spring has sprung and our 3-D printers have been working around the cluck to hatch some egg-citing scent vessels for your nose work training. We think they came out egg-ceptionally well!
We printed each one with a raised pattern on the surface so they look like decorated Easter eggs. Just unscrew the two halves of the egg, load your Q-tips into the shell, and screw back together.
We created some eggs using regular 3-D filament and others with "silk" filament which results in a shimming finish. Choose the finish as well as the color you prefer.
Dimensions: 3"H x 2-3/4" diameter at widest point. Holds muliple Q-tip heads.
Colors: We try to keep all the colors in stock, but if you are in a hurry for your order and we don't have a particular color available to ship immediately, you can specify a second choice color. Orders can be delayed by 3 to 4 days if we have to do a new 3D print run for a specific color.

Our nose work vessels are made of PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament which is a recyclable, natural thermoplastic polyester derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane.
While PLA itself in its pure form is odorless, nontoxic, and considered food-safe, PLA filament is usually not because manufacturers use additives to make it tougher and print better, dyes for bright colors, etc. We researched to find materials that have certification documents showing they've been tested for toxicity and also that they are made with nontoxic dyes.
Here are some important tips for use and care of our nose work vessels:
- You can leave Q-tips in the vessel for short periods, but don't store them in the vessel for long periods. Essential oils react to ALL surfaces they come in contact with which can cause training problems because the reaction changes how the odor smells. Periodically change your Q-tips and clean the vessel.
- The vessels are NOT dishwasher-safe. They should be hand-washed in warm water (if your hands are not comfortable in the water, it's too hot!) using liquid dish soap. Towel dry or air dry.
- You can also clean out your vessels by wiping the inside with 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or using Zero Odor Spray.
- Temperatures above 110°F can warp products made from PLA so do not leave the vessels in direct sunlight or a hot vehicle for long periods of time.
