Description

Because thingiverse can never have enough bottle openers...

Here's an openscad wall mountable penny bottle opener.

The scad file is parametric though you'll have to play around to see what works. It's not commented at all and rather poorly written...

There is now a first attempt at a version with a tongue and eyes. I haven't printed it though. You can turn it off and on with a boolean in the scad file.

Instructions

Print it out, clean if necessary.
Insert penny (you may have to squish it in with pliers). The last version I printed out was a bit too tight so I made the hole a bit larger. Hopefully it isn't too large. I haven't printed it out yet.

Screw it to the wall (or whatever).

You'll want pretty secure screws since there's quite a bit of force trying to rip it off the wall.

Worked really well and works with a 5p piece UK money another I needed a hammer to persuade it into the hole. I one question tho I have a ToM with a mk7. When the print come to the smaller detail at the top it slows down but the extruder still runs at normal speed so it lays down loansof plastic any way of turning tthis down in skeinforge 50 in repg

I'm glad it worked. I'm not quite sure why you are having trouble with the slowdown for cool. If you are using a stepper extruder, it should slow down the extruder as well as the axis movement. Are you using PLA? Any chance it's just oozing out and not being forced by the stepper?

I just uploaded slightly modified version to change the angle to avoid spillage of the beverage.

It works great for me.

Oke here is my first try ;-)

That's strange, is that the latest version? It looks like the bottle is perpendicular, mine is at an angle with mine.

Did you have to modify the opening for the coin? You might try pushing the coin in more. The problem with developing this is that you have to drink a lot of beer...

That design begs for 2 eyes to go above it. Good job!

That's so true. I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps a tongue drawn on it too. I may leave that to the more artistically creative folks among us...

I think it would be better to use 2 screws on top.

With some little changings you could change this opener to an rabit- / cat- / dog- bottle opener.

I agree, I'm uploading a new version with two holes up top.

Hi,

this is a very cool item!

I just thought of a little improvement:

Maybe there could be a little holder f
ür a plastikbag or something under the opener to catch the caps...

Good idea, could probably be accomplished pretty easily by adding a hook to either side. I don't drink quite that much beer though...
