Description

A snap-on cover that turns an open drink can into something with a bit of mid-century diner about it: a round cap that seats over the rim, and an orange shutter pivoting on a centre pin, flicked aside by a fingertip notch to uncover the drinking slot and swung back to close it. Swivel it shut and the can looks sealed; flick it open and it reads like the lid of an old soda can.

The shutter turns on a printed pin with a 0.4 mm working gap, so the cover comes off the plate already assembled — no loose parts, no fitting, no supports to pick out of the pivot. The cap is 71 mm across and shaped to snap over a standard 12 oz can rim (assumed at roughly 66 mm), so measure your can before committing to a long print.

Good to know

  • Cap and Swivel Shutter print as one working piece; the shutter stays captured on its pin.
  • Finger notch on the shutter tip for one-handed opening.
  • Sized for a standard 12 oz can; slim cans and other rim diameters need the fit adjusted first.
  • The shutter is the natural place for a second colour — a filament change at its layer gives the cap a contrasting tab.
  • Print the cap flat on its face; the pivot needs a clean, squish-free first layer to swing freely.

5-Point Star Cookie Cutter

5-Point Star Cookie Cutter

A five-point star cookie cutter, 60 mm tip to tip, with 18 mm tall walls and a wide flat flange around the top edge. The flange gives a thumb a broad surface to press on, so pushing the cutter through dough doesn't put a thin edge against your skin. Remix hooks The values below are the ones worth changing. Everything else follows from them. Star size (R, 30 mm): This is the tip radius, so 60 mm across. Change it to scale the star. At about 40 mm across or less, check that the flange doesn't crowd the inner corners. Point sharpness (ratio, 0.5): This is the inner radius divided by the outer radius. Lower values like 0.4 give spikier points. Higher values like 0.6 give a chubbier, more rounded star. Very spiky points are harder to press out of dough. Flange (flangew 4 mm, flanget 2 mm): Widen it for a more comfortable press, or thicken it for more stiffness. Rounding the flange's outer corners is an easy variant if you want it softer on the thumb. Wall (wall, 1.2 mm): This is about three nozzle widths on a 0.4 mm nozzle. Thinner cuts more cleanly but is more fragile. Thicker is sturdier but pushes dough aside more. Height (H, 18 mm): Lower it for thin cookies, or raise it for thick dough or a deeper grip. Pairs well with A set of different sizes, made by changing R and nothing else. Other shapes that reuse the same wall and flange values, such as a heart or circle, so the whole set feels the same in the hand. A matching stamp or embossing plate that fits inside the cutter opening. Printing Print it flange-up or flange-down on the bed. Flange-down needs no supports, and the thin walls grow straight up from the flange. Use food-safe filament if you want to use it on dough.
