Soda Can Crusher V2

It's high time to revisit one of my most beloved 3D print creations! This update addresses several concerns voiced by Thingiverse readers in the comments. 1) The handle is now neatly divided into two pieces, making it significantly easier to print. Although they still require support, they can be printed with the gears facing downwards. 2) No metal bearings are necessary; a simple application of lubricant like Vaseline will suffice. 3) I've managed to print the handle 5 mm longer than before due to reorientation, but also included one 10 mm shorter version for smaller printers. I deliberately kept all the teeth on the gears because they add an extra touch of coolness. I encountered some difficulties getting the threads to align properly on the handle, so I'm unsure if this is a printer-specific issue or not. Please take a look and let me know your findings. https://youtu.be/s-SyZAgsguI
