Soda Lid Larger Connector Mod

thingiverse

I'm thrilled to report that gnat season has finally arrived, and I've been printing out Hvmhvm's fantastic "Soda Can Lid" once again to safeguard my cherished carbonated beverages from pesky insects. The initial version had a fragile connector that kept breaking off on me, so I was relieved to see the updated version 2 with a larger, more robust connector. Despite some minor issues with the ABS material and printer settings, I decided to take matters into my own hands and enlarge the connector to ensure a snug fit between the top and bottom halves. With a bit of effort and patience, I managed to bend and shape the connector until it securely locked into place, resulting in a sturdy lid that should withstand the entire gnat season. As an added convenience, I've included Hvmhvm's original version 2 bottom lid for easy reference.
