Drinking Straw Cap

thingiverse

This protective cap is designed to safeguard your straw and beverage from contamination. The straw cap securely attaches to the top of the straw when closed, and opens smoothly to allow it to slide down the straw, providing convenient access for drinking. Here are some benefits of using this straw cap: • Keep pesky insects like bees out of your straw. • Prevent grubby passenger elbows from coming into contact with your straw when your drink is sitting in the car's center console cup holder - nothing ruins a good sip like skin crumbs and arm hairs in your drink! • Regularly disinfect to keep your straw cap clean. • This design should fit even big, fat fast food straws; if not, try scaling it by 5 or 10 percent when printing. The model is provided in both open and closed positions, allowing you to choose the orientation that works best with your printer. The hinge should print in place with a built-in tolerance of 0.4mm. * If the tolerance is too large for your printer (resulting in a loose or sloppy hinge), please let me know and I will create a revised version with a smaller tolerance. <b>Warning: Not intended for use by children, as it can pose a choking hazard. Use only on cups that have a lid, such as fast food cups, to avoid the cap sliding into your drink. Use at your own risk.</b>
