Get some extra leverage and grip on stuck cans. Shared by truglodite on Thingiverse:
I designed this thing to open “brush-in-can” plumbing adhesive containers. These adhesive containers use a standardized 45mm diameter knurled lid. The lids usually become impossible to remove with bare hands after the threads get jammed with glue (often after the first use in my case). So I keep one of these tools handy in the box where I store my plumbing sundries; it easily beats having to reach for the slip jaw pliers.
No supports are needed. I printed my tool in ABS, 0.4mm nozzle, .45mm line width, 25% infill, with 4 line walls. The result feels good in my hands; ie it is very tough/durable, yet easy to squeeze tight for a solid grip. Other filaments will work, but semi-flexible filaments like ABS or nylon will make a tool that is easier to squeeze, versus stiffer stuff like PLA.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
