illy Coffee Can Upcycling Collection (15 modifications)

March 23, 2025
Description
I was looking for a way to give my illy coffee can collection a new life. And here it is!
Choose from a wide collection of different lid modifications for the legendary illy coffee cans for different purposes:
- Coffee Grounds Knock Box Lids
- Use the can as coffee grounds knock box in your coffee corner (2 modifications)
- Powder Shaker Lids
- Lids that function as a dispenser for bulk materials (2 modifications)
- Pouring Lids
- Dispensing caps modifications (3 modifications)
- ChopSticks Holder Lid
- Use an empty can as a stylish chopstick holder
- Flower or Decoration Vases Lids
- Use the decorative potential of the illy coffee can (4 modifications)
- You can choose from two hole sizes and optionally use a mounting to hang the can
- Piggy Bank Lid
- It is obvious that you can use a can as a simple piggy bank
- Casual Lids
- Few casual lids (for the entire lid area or about half)
A big benefit is that this lid may or may not replace the original lid of the can - you can combine both lids (the printed lid does not interfere with the original one)!
The lid is designed to fit snugly into the can. If you have trouble removing it (for example, if you want to try a different modification), I recommend using a flathead screwdriver - it works great :)
Printing:
- I highly recommend using PETG
- Without support
- 0.20 layer
- Infill 15 %
Happy printing!
PS: This model is using the original mounting concept and dimensions from Illy can pouring help model from mikhart. Thanks for this original model and kudos!
