A container has a pour opening. In order to be able to portion-wise deliver a dry bulk material or a liquid from the container the container has a divider wall between a first chamber and a second chamber which are connected via a transition chamber. Thus material can pass the pour opening of the container via the first chamber, the transition chamber and the second chamber. Furthermore, a device for such a container is claimed, as well as a computer-readable medium with instructions for a 3D-printer.
