Pint Glass Sleeve

At the office, I make hot tea with a special gizmo that fits in my pint glass (because the original vessel shattered awhile back). A pint glass conducts heat pretty well so this sleeve helps me carry it without singing my poor delicate hand. The sleeve is just one filament wide and fits a standard pint glass perfectly (seriously, it's snug at both ends). I'll bet that if you print it in Ninjaflex, it'll be even better.

How do I make hot tea in a pint glass? Well, I use a special tea maker that I found on the streets of Hong Kong many years (decades?) ago: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2044092

Enjoy!

Dec 16th, 2016 update: Added an 80mm sleeve so that it covers more of the glass (the original version is 40mm).

Dec 22nd, 2016 update: Added a couple more 80mm sleeves: Plain and Ribbed. Oh Joy.

May 24th, 2017 update: Added another pattern that features 13 flat thin ribs that really give it a nice sleek look and excellent thermal properties. Feels like a new pint glass!

July 14th, 2018 update: Added a heart shaped extrusion to the 13 flat thin ribs version. Quite lovely.
