Kano Soda Can Holder

This Kano-inspired soda can holder is designed for fans of the iconic Mortal Kombat character and makes a unique display piece for any gaming collection. The model is supplied as a solid print and does not include a pre-made cavity for a beverage can. Because different users may prefer different can sizes or wall thicknesses, you will need to create the can opening yourself before printing.

To create the cavity, I used the Negative Part feature in Orca Slicer and inserted a 67 mm x 67 mm cylindrical cutout into the center of the model. When creating the opening, I recommend leaving approximately 4 mm of material at the bottom of the holder to act as a support shelf for the can. This provides enough strength to support the beverage while maintaining the structural integrity of the print.

Once modified, the holder comfortably accommodates a standard 12 oz beverage can and securely supports the full weight of a filled can without issue. The design balances functionality with detailed character-inspired styling, making it suitable for both everyday use and display. For best results, print with adequate wall thickness and infill settings to ensure durability, especially if the holder will be used regularly rather than solely as a collectible display piece.
