Bevvy Buddy™ Duo Gyro Edition – Spill-Resistant Beverage Carrier
From an Idea to a Better Coffee Run
The Bevvy Buddy™ Duo Gyro Edition was created to solve a common problem: carrying multiple drinks without needing both hands or worrying that every small movement could cause a spill. By borrowing concepts from gimbal stabilisation systems and adapting them into a practical print-in-place design, this carrier offers a unique combination of convenience, portability, and drink stability.
Because sometimes the smartest engineering solutions are the ones that make everyday life a little easier.
Meet the Bevvy Buddy™ Duo Gyro Edition – a clever reimagining of the traditional drink carrier, designed for stability and spill resistance.
This innovative carrier features suspended cup rings that help keep your drinks more level as you walk. While no carrier can completely eliminate spills, the self-balancing design helps reduce sudden tilting and sloshing compared to conventional rigid drink trays.
Whether you're navigating busy office corridors, climbing stadium stairs, crossing a festival ground, or simply making the morning coffee run, the Bevvy Buddy™ Duo Gyro Edition helps keep your beverages upright and under control.
Ingenious Print-in-Place Design
Designed specifically for 3D printing, the Bevvy Buddy™ Duo Gyro Edition features a print-in-place gimbal system that requires minimal supports and assembles straight off the printer.
Choose from two versions:
One-Piece Print-in-Place Version
Print the complete carrier as a single assembly with fully integrated stabilising cup rings. Remove any required support material, and it's ready to use.
Collapsible Two-Piece Version
Prefer compact storage? The collapsible version prints as two parts that assemble easily while maintaining the same spill-resistant functionality. Ideal for keeping in:
- Your desk drawer
- Car glovebox or centre console
- Backpack or laptop bag
- Camping and picnic gear
Designed for Real-World Use
The suspended cup rings are free to pivot independently, allowing each drink to naturally seek its own level as the carrier moves. This gimbal-inspired approach helps reduce the effects of:
- Uneven walking surfaces
- Stair climbing
- Sudden direction changes
- Crowded environments
- Vehicle movement when carried carefully
The result is a carrier that feels remarkably stable in everyday use while remaining lightweight and portable.

Multi-Colour Printing Option:
In Bambu Studio, the top section can be split into individual objects, allowing each ring to be rearranged and printed separately in different colours. This provides a practical way to colour-code drinks, making it easy to identify individual orders at a glance. Perfect for coffee runs, group orders, or workplace use, where each person's drink can be assigned a unique colour.
Don't Forget!
If you're carrying drinks for the whole crew, be sure to check out the Bevvy Buddy™ Quad Edition, designed to carry four beverages using the same practical Bevvy Buddy philosophy.
Following the success of the Bevvy Buddy™ Duo Gyro Edition, the Bevvy Buddy Quad builds on the same stabilising concept, scaling it up to carry four beverages at once while maintaining impressive balance and portability.
