Soup Can Opener - For Poor Grip Strength
Print Profile(2)


Bill of Materials
Description
I printed one of Jays Creations @jays_creations Soda Can Openers (https://makerworld.com/en/models/825919) for a family member and they liked it so much they requested a larger version for soup / canned goods. (Thanks Jay for sharing!)
***UPDATE*** A can with a larger tab has been found, checkout the updated model here that accommodates more can tab sizes! https://makerworld.com/en/models/1128026
So here is that remix!
I printed it in Bambu HF-PETG and it worked great. I think most other filaments will also work fine for this.
What Changed:
- Opener “mouth” is larger to accommodate wider tabs found on soup cans and other canned good (like the canned tomatoes in my picture). I also chamfered top edge of opener mouth to slide under tabs easier.
You can still open soda cans with it, but since it's wider the smaller soda can tab can slip out more easily.
- Eliminated need for supports by chamfering the underside of the openers overhang edges.
- Moved keychain hole into main body and added a perpendicular hole to allow use with bead or split ring style keychains.
This is the beaded metal style keychain I'm using: https://amzn.to/3PDX4YD (affiliate link)
- Added holes for optional embedded magnets which makes it easy to put it on the fridge and keep it handy.
- There is a pause at 4.4mm to insert three 8x3 magnets if you want them. You can purchase them from Maker supply or from Amazon here : https://amzn.to/3WqiUTL (affiliate link)
- Changed texture from lines to hexagons because racecar 😎.
- I've also included a .step file if you want to remix my remix.
