Description
EasyJug is a 3d printed solution for a problem you may face in your office or home. Grabbing a jug by its “troat” or lifting it on your shoulder may be quite hard and tiresome. With this carry tool you can carry the bottle like a bag. Used with 19 or 20 litre water dispenser bottles. After 3 itterations, we have selected the most comfortable handle with no compromise in strenght and print quality.
Similar products are manufactured by injection molding and are offered by various sellers for around 5-10$ without shipping cost. By printing EasyJug yourself you can cut the cost by atleast half. It is a great conversation starter and a demonstration for the strenght of 3d printed plastics.
We recommend using PLA for its rigidity, strenght and ease of printing. Using ABS, ASA or PETG is OK but will result in worse print quality in first 2-3mm of the print where the fillet overhang is.
