Beer Bottle Lock

Firstly I'd like to say that coming up with unique ideas isn't always necessary – recently a Beer Bottle Lock made waves in the 3D printing community, originating from an Instructables tutorial by JON-A-TRON (check out http://www.instructables.com/id/Beer-Bottle-Lock/... for the original). As Christmas approaches I wanted to create one with my family as a fun project. Just print the two pieces and use any small travel lock to secure that final beer – it could be yours or someone else's! Unlike JON-A-TRON's original design, this version requires no screws. The dimensions are fairly loose so they should fit a wide range of bottle shapes securely; if you don't need flexibility, consider thickening one or two areas on the inside before printing. Of course it could be snapped off, but this design is intended for fun only – if you're genuinely concerned about people stealing beer perhaps it's time to reevaluate your friends.
