If you like the model, help it out with a BOOST :D

Do you know what sucks the most about having to use crutches? It is impossible to carry a fresh cup of coffee!!! (or any other drink)
Well, this trusty little companion changes that :) Since I am stuck with crutches for 4 weeks it is a huge relief to be able to carry drinks again.

The print-in-place 2-Axis-Gimbal makes sure the cup is aligned with the forces acting on in. And since the surface of the liquid is always perpendicular to those forces, the drink remains level in the cup (even if the cup seems shaky from the outside). This can be seen in the video as well.

The version in the fotos fits a 84mm cup and 20mm crutches. I made versions for 84, 75, 70, 65mm Cups and 25, 22.5, 20 or 17mm crutches. Just choose the one right for you :)

I hope I can help you carry a few good drinks and you enjoy them! If you like the design and it helps you, I would appreciate a Boost :)

3D PRINTING SETTINGS

This model is an easy print and needs only minimal support. I used small support pillars in the holes for the screw, but if your printer has good cooling, you might get away without them. Otherwise use your favourite print settings and get a fully working gyro straight from the print bed!

@Austrian_Maker

Awesome, great idea!

@Armadiaboli

Could I have the file for the adapter, please?

@mcavanaugh

Replying to @Armadiaboli :

I second that, would love design for the adapter too.

@bradlde

l made one but it doesn't fit. It printed really well. l really like the idea. My cane is 22.5mm. Could you make one that will fit?

@Austrian_Maker

Hi! Glad you like the design, I just uploaded a version which will fit you :) I hope it does and I am looking forward to seeing a make of the fitting one! Greetings :)

A1Mini, to fit 22.5mm, 4 walls, 30% infill

Printed for the first time as a whole piece and it was perfect. I've been playing with the design and many different variations to help a friend that uses the crutches and has given lots of feedback. Will probably upload an STL/profile here soon. Thanks!

@JCaceres25

Made a version for 22.5mm canes in which I removed the screw mechanism completely and replaced it with a clamp which connects via dovetail cut to the cup holder. This way the clamp can stay in the crutches and you can carry the gyro in your backpack for easy transportation, installation, and removal. Printed in transparent PETG.

@JCaceres25

Replying to @JCaceres25 :

Also designed a retractable/collapsible cup holder for the 84mm ring. The small part fits slim cans (coke/redbull/etc), the medium one fits regular cans (such as beer for example) and the top one keeps being wide enough for 80-something cups and if they're tapered enough they can be secured by the medium-size compartment.

Great model. Have used it a couple of times for friends. The current version i printed, (25 - 75mm) has a flaw if the intended crutch is 75mm in diameter. The wide part of the shaft of the screw is too long and does not allow a 75mm cylinder to fit in the bracket. I solved the problem for my use by employing a negative modifier (a Torus) to reduce the size of the wide part of the shaft nearest the threads. A quick modification to the master file would be better. Thank you for sharing this model.

@fikish

oh man I really need this. I made one with the 25mm for my crutches but the screw doesn't even reach the other side, the large part of it hits the crutches cylinder and stops it from reaching across. very frustrating.

Works very well right off the printer. Posted it to Reddit so hopefully you got a bunch of likes and downloads.

All is well…The diameter is slightly large for standard cups…I have designed an adapter

Perfect, thank you. Printed with petg.

Thanks heaps. I had the same issue with the screw not fitting 25mm crutches as others described. I have uploaded a remix of the screw that will fit 25mm and possibly 22.5mm crutches if people are having issues thank you for the design @Austrian_Maker this has been a lifesaver

Perfect. Makes a great drink holder for my suitcase!! I printed just the inner ring first at 92% to test fit (a little too small for my cups) then printed the whole project at 94%. Love it!
