Stand-up Party Glass Holder

thingiverse

You certainly know this situation: At the stand-up party you hold a glass in your right hand and the snacks plate in your left - and all of a sudden you have to sneeze. This glass holder keeps your sleeve clean, your wine glass full and your conversational partners healthy. I prepared separate .stl files for right-handers and left-handers. ==================================================================== Update 13 April 2023: Some parties may be wilder than others. To avoid collateral damage upon collisions I added a version with a swivel locking the glass - again with separate .stl files for right-handers and left-handers. The slot for the glass shaft is still 10 mm wide. The lateral space for the finger is 20 mm (down from 25 mm) to provide some friction between the finger and the rotating part. The stop between finger and plate is shortened to 20 mm to allow for bending the fingers. I use Revell Contacta PROFESSIONAL for gluing. Superglue is also a possibility. Revell is gluing by temporarily solving the PLA while superglue is an independent gluing material and probably not permanently moisture-resistant. I recommend greasing the sliding surfaces to avoid gluing the rotating parts to the fixed parts. Update 6 April 2023: This is a basic version without rotating parts - with separate .stl files for right-handers and left-handers. The slot for the glass shaft is 10 mm wide and the lateral space for th finger is 25 mm. ==================================================================== As always I include the OpenSCAD source files for you to adapt or improve: - Download and install OpenSCAD from https://www.openscad.org - Launch OpenSCAD and open the enclosed OpenSCAD source file (/File/Open). - Amend the parameters at the top of the file and/or modify the source code. - Save your changes (/File/Save). - Render the design (/Design/Render). - Export the rendered design e.g. as a .stl file (/File/Export/Export as STL). - Slice and print.
