Alpha Magnetic Bottle Security Cap Opener

thingiverse

I picked up my curbside grocery order during the COVID-19 pandemic in Arizona, where one of the worst outbreaks globally is unfolding on a per-capita basis. In a state with 7.3 million residents, over 70,000 confirmed cases have been reported, giving rise to more than a 50% chance that an individual infected with COVID-19 attends any event drawing 90 or more people. The grocery store overlooked removing the security caps from some of the beverage bottles I had ordered. To avoid returning to the store and potentially exposing myself to COVID-19, I repurposed magnets from an old hard drive, four M3 screws, and two M4 screws to create a security cap opener. Print out this object. Attach two hard disk drive magnets with their accompanying brackets onto the object from one direction using M3 screws. Insert M4 screws into the larger holes so that they protrude about 5mm past the magnet's surface.
