This 3D-printed can holder features a clever sliding mechanism with a built-in flexure that locks into place. This prevents smaller (150ml) cans from falling to the bottom, keeping them at the same height as larger (250ml) cans. Perfect for keeping your drink stable and accessible regardless of size!
All files include a can holder and a slider, just pick which version of the can holder you want to print and download that file.

That’s it — you’re done!
🍹 Great job! Now go enjoy a cold drink.
If you print this, I’d love to see your make! Feel free to share photos, remix ideas, or suggest improvements. Cheers!
