Description

Tired of bugs, sand, and dust in your drink? Here I come with the solution you can print yourself!

Designed for 500ml European cans, so please check your fit (should fit 0.33l European cans as well).
Prints without supports (12 min model print time). Uses only 7.2 grams of filament.

I used Esun PLA+, but feel free to experiment with other materials.

Great design, I printed with Bambu PLA but unfortunately on first use it split on a layer line.. I decided to try standing them up and printing with supports which has made it a lot stronger and doesn't split anymore when putting on a UK can of coca cola. Great design though!

Interesting, did you print multiple ones or just a single? It is a possibility when printing multiple models that the layers don't adhere to each other because too much time passes between layers. It can be solved using the 'print by object' setting. Did test it myself with Bambu PLA Basic, it is still working fine, but I have to admit, Esun PLA+ works better, as it has a bit more flex, and strength. Maybe Bambu PLA Tough? I don't have that unfortunately. But thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it!

Replying to @kerekben :

I only printed one but i guess it's possible that the layers didn't adhere properly causing a weak point, or it could be the Bambu PLA. Printing upright seems to have worked well, maybe a little too well as they can be hard to remove from the can 😂
