PET Bottle Opener
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
This is a compact PET bottle opener.
The other day I hurt my wrist and can't open the PET bottle cap, so I decided to make it.

[news] In August 2020 I designed a new opener. Here you can attach with a lighter force. Please download it and try it. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4570640
I usually use this new version. I also give new version to the people around me.
[requirements]
-small force attachment
-no slipping turn
-compact
-easy to distinguish the front and back
[idea]
-Angled fin structure.
-Center hole (can be pushed with thumb when removing)
[print conditions]
-ABS/PLA
-no support
[How to use]
-Open ... Insert the opener into the cap with the dented side down and turn it to the left (ccw).
-Close lightly ... Insert the opener into the cap with the dented side down and turn it to the right (cw) until you hear a ratchet sound.
-Close tightly ... Insert the opener into the cap with the dented side up and turn it to the right (cw).

I deleted two files. "petbottle_opener_release1.stl" and "petbottle_opener_thin_release1.stl".
These files are special and only useful in situations when the thickness of the fins is printed thinner. If these are printed with an accurate printer, the performance of the opener will be poor.
To avoid this, I decided to remove it.

I add a .step file (PetBottle_Opener_fin08mm _release1.step).
I hope you can remix what suits your…
