Description
Introduction:
I would like to introduce the snap cap.
This is a product i have been working on for a few months and i wanted to share my progress with everyone.
I have made this cap to try and seal my cans for when i don't feel like drinking everything at once and want to keep dust, debris and insects out while i am working on my projects.
Assembly:
the only thing necessary the complete the snap cap is to press or lighlty hammer the hinge pin in the correct possition. this has been made press fit for a snug fit and making sure it won't come out during use.
Backstory:
I have made this cap so that it snaps on to the can and also snaps in to place when you close it. That is why i named it the snap cap (note: when the tpu ring is installed the cap snaps less when closing)
I tested it on a few different cans and it fit good on all of them. for as far as my testing went the tpu ring doesn't completely seals the can of but does make it so it only starts dripping instead of gushing out all at once. This makes it so you got more time and less spillage if it ever drops or falls over. It is also designed so the tpu ring can be removed easily when cleaning the cap.
i want to say this is still somewhat of a prototype even though i have been through dozens of versions and trials before i posted this. i want to encourage people, that try the cap, to leave a comment if you think anything could be improved for a new version.
with that said, thank you for reading this and possibly trying my product of lots of hours desgning and trying different versions.
Other variants:
if you are interested, i have also made 3 more sizes for different cans. and the link to the right tpu ring for the 355ml / 12fl oz version is linked here aswell
