Design Concept

Avoid breaking nails when opening drinks cans, and who better to help you open your soda? It has to be Yoda!

This model creatively combines a decorative piece with a functional soda bottle opener. Inspired by a popular character, it captures a fun essence while serving a practical purpose. Open the can, using the slot in the bottom of the opener, then spin it round and clip it down to protect your drink from unwanted insects or drink spiking.

Use a CFS or manual filament change to get the contrast.

The model can be printed in all one colour, but to get the contrast in the top layers, a CFS can be used to change the filament colour for the top three layers.

Two .3mf files are supplied, one with Prime towers, for use with a CFS and one for manual filament changes. Each version has a version of the stl with and without the hole for attachment to a keyring. For manual filament change, insert a PAUSE statement in the gcode after the change to layer height at 5mm.

Use

This model can be used to both open your drinks cans and as a decorative/protective cover, deterring insects or interference. It's ideal for Star Wars fans, enhancing their collection with a unique utility tool. It also has a hole in the ear, so that it can be attached as a keychain, keeping it handy. A version is also included without the hole.

Printing Advice

Opt for a medium level of infill to ensure durability, especially for the bottle opener part. Using two contrasting colors for the outer and inner parts will enhance its aesthetic appeal.

Assembly Instructions

No assembly is needed. It is a single print model. Ensure that the supports are correctly removed to maintain its functionality as an opener.

Print without supports - the bridging distances are short, so support should not be needed. I used 25% infill and 3 wall perimeters for strength.
