This is a totally over-engineered beer can handle that can be adjusted to hold both short 0,33l and tall 0,5l beer cans and anything in between with a standard 55mm hole in the bottom.
The adjuster has a spring detent mechanism with a very satisfying click, holding the can and the set height securely.
Print the Top.stl laying on it´s flat side.
Print the Adjuster.stl standing with the detent bumps up.
Print the Base.stl standing up.
Print the Spring.stl laying flat.
Alternately for a stronger base, print the 3-split Base_L, _R and _M laying on it´s flat sides and glue the pieces togeather.
Use high infill, low speed and high temperature for maximum strength. Make sure all parts come out good and strong before putting it to use. This is no time to be taking chances. Just think of the consequences if something would break!
To assemble place the spring in the bottom of the base and gently twist the adjuster all the way down until it clicks into place. Insert the top part and turn the adjuster to get the threads started.
Enjoy.
