Snap-on Hands-Free Can Strainer

A snap-on can strainer to drain liquid from canned vegetables and fruits. Hands-free operation.

It’s simple and convenient to use: Fully open the can, snap on the can strainer, then flip them upside down in the sink to let the liquid take its time to drain out while you tend to other tasks of meal preparation or cooking. It’s a time saver particularly if the canned food has thick liquid such as canned beans.

It fits the three commonly available can sizes in US stores. I tested it on an entire canned vegetable section in a grocery store and found only one odd-sized can from one brand that didn't fit.

This strainer doesn’t fit the big cans (usually 4 inches or wider in diameter) that sit on the bottom shelf in the store. I believe these big cans are not frequently bought and not worth designing a size for. But if you use these big cans let me know the size (and brand, so I can go test it out) and I will try to make one to fit them.

Easily print with PETG or PLA. No support is needed. PETG is more flexible and easier to snap on and take off, but PLA will also work.

Print profile is provided.

Although it doesn’t have prolong contact with the vegetable and the liquid flows through the strainer outwards from the can, please use safe filaments such as PETG or PLA.
