Beer Bottle Koozie - TPU
Keep your hands dry and enjoy your beer!
I live in Texas and my beer bottles sweat instantly when going outside.
I love koozies for my beers, but they fall apart pretty quick or can get nasty.
So, I made this simple koozie for my favorite beer right now, Michelob Ultra 12oz bottles, and printed it in TPU and have been using it for over 6 months without a single issue.
I have two versions…
- with 2 holes (my daily driver) that I put a small ball chain through so I can hold it and other things while moving around to free up the hand better..
- no holes
I printed these in TPU so they are flexible and will last longer without issues.
I also tried two printed methods using Cura.
- As-is - plain print (left in the side-by-side pic)
- Fuzzy Skin (right in the side-by-side pic) And I LOVE the fuzzy skin much better. It has a better grip, and looks a bit better, but it is up to you.
My final one, not pictured, was printed in black… just a better color overall I think, but having other colors like blue, red, green, orange, etc., for holidays is fun too. :) Throw in a few filament changes and you could have a nice Red/White/Blue or Red/Green or Orange/Black koozie for the holidays or to match your favorite team's colors!
I have not tried this on other beer bottles, so you may need to change the X & Y dimensions. Just print an inch or two to test before printing at max if you don't think your beer of choice will fit.
