Folding Camp Cup Handle

thingiverse

This is a custom folding camping cup handle that I designed for a friend whose original handle snapped off. To prevent damage when packing the cup in a bag, the handle folds neatly against it. When needed, the handle expands into place. Initially, I printed the design flat with the curved side facing upwards. Although the back of the finished product doesn't look exactly as I envisioned, it's perfect for camping trips where functionality takes priority over appearance. The piece was 3D printed using black ABS plastic, which proved to be a great choice. The connections between sections fit together smoothly and securely, yet still allow for easy folding and unfolding.
