Insulated TPU Can Holder - Vase Mode

Description

A stylish, durable and flexible Can Holder (Koozie / cooler) for printing with TPU, TPE or PEBA filament. It insulates your can, keeping your can cold without making your hand cold, is comfortable to hold, looks great and prevents condensation from a cold can from dripping on you or pooling on furniture. Each vertical rib creates a separate air gap between the can and your hand, with just enough filament touching the can to hold it securely while also insulating the can to keep it colder for longer.

There are profiles for most common can sizes in 66mm wide STANDARD cans, 57mm wide SLEEK cans and 250ml SLIM cans.

This model is designed for printing in VASE Mode only. It won't look like a Can Holder until it's sliced (with Vase Mode enabled) and you view it in the Preview window. My profiles have Vase Mode enabled.

The print profiles include a modifier to create a hole in the base to make it easier to insert/remove cans, especially with stiffer TPUs like Bambu Labs TPU for AMS. If you don't want the hole then you just need to delete the modifier.

Please note:

• The model with the profiles that I've provided are optimised for a great print with almost any TPU, TPE or PEBA that's been adequately dried before printing. It's worked well with all of the different TPUs that I've used from Bambu Labs, eSun, Elegoo and Flashforge.
• The profiles that I've provided reduce the wall speed as the height increases, to maintain the print quality as the print becomes less rigid as it gets taller.
• TPU is “stretchy”, so the filament path from the spool to the print head needs to be as free from friction as possible, otherwise the TPU that's going into the extruder is stretched and will be thinner than it should be, resulting in a poor quality print. A “TPU Tamer” is a very nice solution for this - https://makerworld.com/en/models/1664400-tpu-tamer-feed-soft-tpu-with-confidence-on-h2d .

• The hole in the base is created with a print modifier in each profile. It's done this way so that:
  • You can modify the hole size if you want to.
  • If you want to modify the height of the base (the number of bottom layers) then you can match the hole height to the base height.
  • If you don't want a hole in the base then the print modifier can be deleted.
