Simple, fun, and guaranteed to make opening a bottle more entertaining.   Improvements: Fully 3D Printable Reinforced Geometry Increased Durability Improved Design More Comfortable Grip Replaceable Lever Tip Optional: Lever spring Have fun with it! Warning: Bottle caps are normally ejected upward. However, their trajectory may also deviate to the side. Therefore, do not point the bottle toward yourself or other people while using the opener, as the bottle cap could be launched in your direction. Bottle caps can be ejected at high speed and may travel a considerable distance. Always be mindful of your own safety and the safety of those around you. Keep your fingers clear of moving parts to avoid pinch injuries. Use at your own risk. IMPORTANT INFORMATION  This bottle opener is not a decoration — it’s a functional tool that has to handle force when opening a bottle.  I spent a lot of time testing and refining the design to make it as strong and reliable as possible.   However, its performance can be affected by many factors, like the filament brand, bottle manufacturer, drink temperature, printing process, how the opener is used, and more. I’m trying to make sure the opener works perfectly for as many users as possible. Unfortunately, that won’t be the case for everyone, since there are many factors I can’t control. In any case, I’ll do my best to help if you run into any problems — just reach out. BOTTLE SHAPES Before printing, check which version fits your bottle. Currently, print profiles are available for German, Corona, Modelo, and Pilsner Urquell bottles. Heineken bottles will follow immediately. If you’re not sure which one is right for you, just ask me. ASSAMBLY Press the tip into the lever. (Pliers can help.) Optional: Slide the spring into the opening. Attach the lever to the base. Spring against the pin. Put the cover on and press down. Push the lever down until it clicks into the cover. Tighten the nut. USAGE Place the opener on the side of the bottle and push the lever down firmly. The faster the cap flies off, the louder the pop.
