bottle opener (all plastic)

thingiverse

I've created a bottle opener that doesn't rely on a metal coin, instead using an all-plastic design. The curved shape of the part that lifts the cap adds some strength. Its effectiveness depends on the material used and print settings. I made it with ASA, printing five solid perimeter layers, four top/bottom layers, and 35% infill. It seems to work fine; I've successfully opened quite a few beers with it already. I've also printed them using nanodiamond-PLA from Carbodeon, and it works very well too. The photo shows one with text on it, but the model itself is unbranded. If you'd like a branded STL or access to the design on Onshape, just let me know.
