5 Gallon Lid Opener-food paint bucket can pail tool

thingiverse

I've created this item using Tinkercad and you can edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/iHptgvrAYuQ. This is a work-in-progress but I'm working towards creating a fully functional 5-gallon lid opener. Test 1: Initially, I printed this out on my Makerbot 2x using the lowest quality settings. Fortunately, it worked well, however, I would suggest adjusting the infill to around 20-30% because there are some noticeable stress fractures visible. Edit 2: I've now extended the hook as it's significantly easier to latch onto bucket lids. Instructions: We have a basic design already in place, but I thought building one from scratch might be more effective. Start with a simple approach and build your way up to something more complex.
