Description

There is now a new, much better version available. You can download it here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/955197

Why I Designed It

This is the second version of one of my most useful and popular models.

I created the original model to help people with long nails. However, I discovered that many others, including those with arthritis and other dexterity or motor issues, also found it useful.

Version 2 Improvements

The new version includes several enhancements:

New Design: Prints completely flat and without support.
Larger Keychain Hole
More compact size
Wider Design: Better covers the can opening to keep bees out.
Optional Longer Handle: Provides even more ease of use for some people.
Additional Features: Various other improvements.

Printing Instructions

The models have been tested with these settings and they are recommended.

Orientation: Print flat with no supports.
Nozzle Size: 0.4 mm.
Layer Height: 1.5 mm.
Infill: At least 50% for maximum sturdiness.
Material: Printed with PLA, but other filaments should work just as well.

After printing

After its done printing, you take it off the build plate, slide the model on the soda can tap, and then simply push up to open the soda can

these work great for soda can-sized tabs; however, they don't fit largers tabs.

Replying to @AbenAlbert :

of course, thank you for the model! I had planned to use them on cans of cat food, but they don't seem to fit. I'm still getting a ton of use from other compatible cans though! attached is a picture.

At first I thought it was gonna be another useless print (I love to print useless stuff) and it turns out I use this everytime I open a can. Thanks a lot for this model !

@Escavincky

great design and a huge help to me as I have very short nails and can't get my finger under the tab generally. Even though this is a "soda" opener it works extremely well on the spicy beverages as well!
