V19 - Optimised for 0.3mm layer height and adjusted design of grippers to remove need for supports. Shortened body slightly to speed up printing and help fit onto irregular shaped bottles.
After speaking to a close friend who works in the NHS on a COVID-19 ward, she told me a horrible story of a nurse who collapsed through dehydration during a 14 hour shift as she was too scared to drink a bottle of water for fear of passing the virus onto the mouth of the bottle.
It's not a perfect solution but I have come up with this design of a squeezable bottle opener which covers the entire cap and part of the neck removing contact from any of the bottle that would touch somebodys mouth.
Print instructions
The STL files should already be orientated in the correct direction for slicing, You shouldn't need any supports and the print is optimised for 0.2mm layer height.
Once printed you simply push the squeezy grippy things (technical name :D) through the relevant slots with the chamfers facing down and the small 1.mm tabs should stop them from falling out.
