🛠 How Does It Work?

This 3D-printed can holder features a clever sliding mechanism with a built-in flexure that locks into place. This prevents smaller (330ml) cans from falling to the bottom, keeping them at the same height as larger (500ml) cans. Perfect for keeping your drink stable and accessible regardless of size!

📦 What Files Do You Need?

You'll need to print two parts:

• The Can Holder
• The Slider

File Options:

• Complete Set: Includes a plain can holder and the standard slider – print this if you just want a simple version that works.

Can Holder Variants:

• Plain: just a clean version of the holder
• Two Tone: Adds accents by printing the top and bottom in a different color. the file hase 3 bodies which can easely be printed in diffrent collors  If you don’t have a multi-material printer, insert a filament pause at 14mm and 141.5mm heights.
• Logo versions: Designed for multi-material printers, provided as .3mf files with multiple bodies assigned to different colors.

Suggestions for different logos or other changes are always welcome!

Slider Variants:

Multiple versions available with different spring strengths to suit various materials. 

🖨 Printing Tips:

Orientation: Print the model upside down – this way, it only requires a max 35° overhang and short bridging sections for the handle/slider hole. No supports needed. A brim could be useful for adhesion.

Recommended Material: PLA or a similar rigid filament. Most materials will work, but if you use a softer filament, try one of the stronger spring versions of the slider to ensure a satisfying “click” when locking in place. I have found that the springs start a bit rough but only get better with time.

🧩 Installation:

Once your parts are printed, assembly is quick and easy:

• Insert the slider into the slot in the can holder’s handle.
  It should snap in place with a satisfying click.

That’s it — you’re done!

🍹 Great job! Now go enjoy a cold drink.

If you print this, I’d love to see your make! Feel free to share photos, remix ideas, or suggest improvements. Cheers!
