This can crusher works on all standard diameter cans, designed for up to 500ml, with locating rings for smaller 250ml cans too. I designed this model after using some others that exist on here already but found the performance underwhelming and had alot of wasted material.
Robust design takes up a total of about 350 grams of filament
How to use:
- slightly crush can before putting in crusher to help initial crush
- put can in and crush with plunger until plunger stops
- unscrew base and pop can out the bottom with the plunger
Print Settings:
- 0.28mm layer height, 0.2 is fine too but tolerances still work with 0.28 and it is faster
- I recommend PETG Filament as PLA or ABS may be too brittle
- 3 walls
- 4.4mm thick base layer
- Should have no infill throughout the design for maximum strength
- I have designed everything with a 0.2mm tolerance to give a smooth but tight fit. if you know your printer struggles with this try shrinking the plunger slightly in your slicer
