Pint Glass Sleeve

thingiverse

At my workspace, I brew hot tea using a custom gadget that fits snugly in my pint glass (since the original container shattered some time ago). A pint glass conducts heat quite well so this sleeve helps me carry it without scorching my sensitive hand. The sleeve is just one thin filament wide and fits a standard pint glass perfectly (seriously, it's a precise fit at both ends). I'm sure that if you print it in Ninjaflex, it'll be even better. How do I make hot tea in a pint glass? Well, I use a special tea brewer that I discovered on the streets of Hong Kong many years (decades?) ago: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2044092 If you find this helpful, please share your work and be sure to explore my other submissions which are almost as varied as they are numerous: http://www.thingiverse.com/3E8/designs Enjoy! Dec 16th, 2016 update: I added an 80mm sleeve so that it covers more of the glass (the original version is 40mm). Dec 22nd, 2016 update: I added a couple more 80mm sleeves: Plain and Ribbed. Oh what a joy. May 24th, 2017 update: I added another pattern that features 13 flat thin ribs that really give it a nice sleek look and excellent thermal properties. It feels like a brand new pint glass! July 14th, 2018 update: I added a heart shaped extrusion to the 13 flat thin ribs version. It's quite lovely indeed.
