Giving those on crutches a way to carry their drinks with them. Science shows beer and other alcoholic beverages help with the healing process....I think.
Holds US standard 12oz soda cans and long neck bottles. Designed to work with standard aluminum crutches with a 19mm OD and ~117.5mm center to center pole distance.
I recommend printing with ABS for strength reasons. Remember to print with supports! I also printed with a 1.5mm wall thickness and a 20% infill.
You may be hobbling around, but at least you won't be dehydrated!
UPDATE 5/1/15
Just added a stronger version of the crutch cup holder (Beercrutch-robust.stl). Still holds long necks as well as cans. However, top ring is now supported to improve high stress areas. This print takes longer to print though.
UPDATE 5/14/19
One of my friends needed crutches recently and we found that some crutch sets have a small taper from top to bottom. Therefore, I've released a beer holder with a ~108mm center to center distance with 19mm diameter pole OD.
