Mug Hand: Self-Adjusting Coaster

Let this hand handle your drink! This is mostly print-in-place, self-adjusting coaster, that needs NO supports. CHECK QUICK DEMO VIDEO ”Mostly” because whole hand with mechanism is Print in place, the only printed separately part is the round pad, which you need just put on top of the hand.

Clearance between moving parts is very big, so every printer should print this design without any problem.

The Hand Coaster automatically adjusts to the size of the object, it can grip both a mug and a standard aluminum can.

Happy printing and share your new coaster!

3D printing settings:

• Please DO NOT remove flat elements(looking a bit like a brim) attached to each moving element. They are part of the mechanism.
• No Supports
• Moslty print-in-place (pad is printed separetely)
• 2-3 walls (0.4-0.6[mm] nozzle)
• 30[%] infill
• For using with hot drinks I suggest use additional thin cork pad or print “pad” file with a heat resistance material.
