Insert to Add Rigidity and Threads to an Ordinary "Foster" Sized Beer Can Enabling it to Act as a Cook/Boiling Water Pot for Hikers and Backpackers. **Instructions** 1. Print the insert at 258-260°C in polycarbonate with .10 layer height, 25 mm s, and 100 percent infill. Make sure to print without supports, facing downwards. 2. Work in conjunction with Thingiverse:711529, Whistling Mini Pot Lid, for an ideal setup. 3. After printing, locate a "Foster" sized beer can (you may need assistance) and cut it down using scissors to your desired size. 4. Gently sand the cut edge of the can as well as 3/8 inch from the inside circumference. Place the insert threads downwards on a flat surface and apply a thin bead of aquarium silicone sealant onto the sanded area. Carefully press, wriggle, or twist the cut can onto the tapered edge of the insert until it comes to rest just below the bottom thread.
