Description

An ergonomic, 3D-printed cup carrier designed with a focus on maximum stability, simplicity, and accessibility.

While the "centripetal force" principle is well-known, most existing models are either too flimsy or rely on small, breakable parts. I designed this version from scratch to be robust, easy to use, and safe for everyone.

Why is this version better?

  • The Power of the Ball: Instead of a thin loop or a hard-to-grip handle, I added a spherical grip. This is a game-changer for people with reduced motor skills, arthritis, or for anyone carrying a hot drink in a shaky environment. It fits perfectly in the palm.
  • Zero Small Parts: Designed specifically for use in daycare centers and nursing homes. There are no screws, no clips, and no tiny bits that can fall off.
  • Print-Optimized Geometry: The curve is engineered to be strong enough to hold a full mug while remaining balanced during movement.
  • Field Tested: Successfully tested with everything from standard coffee mugs to traditional "slivovice" shot glasses!
     

Tip: For maximum safety, I recommend gluing a small piece of anti-slip rubber or cork into the base. This prevents the cup from sliding during sudden stops.

Printed for my mom who has an essential tremor, tested with my mug (in the background). She reports she's no longer spilling her coffee taking it from the counter to the table. 😊

scaled to 88% and printed on the a1 mini with bambu basic PLA. works flawlessly! What did you use instead of the rope to connect the ball?

Thanks a lot for the feedback and the photo! 😊 I’m really happy it works flawlessly even scaled down to 88% — looks great! For the connection: I originally wanted to use a proper strap and sew it into a loop, but I didn’t have one at home. So I used a flat shoelace / clothing drawstring. I melted the ends together carefully with a lighter, and then added a few stitches as extra safety so it can’t come apart.
