**Lily Pad Cupholder** - _Advanced_
I designed the Lily Pad Cupholder to hold my drinks when at the pool. This water lily is a super fun way to keep your drink afloat. The petals mechanically close around your drink to keep it stable.

**But how does it float? **
This was designed to be buoyant and stable even when a full can is placed inside. It floats because of the air trapped inside the infill. This keeps it floating enough so the can sits elevated. That way pool water doesn't get in your drink.

**2 Versions**
There are two versions of the water lily. One with mechanical petals, and a basic version that is a simpler print. The Basic version can be used with tall cans, and normal cans.

**Where did the idea come from?**
This design came about few months late. The idea for a lily pad cupholder was given to me by Elle Stvdio a few weeks ago. And even though we only have about a month of summer left, i felt like this design needed to exist, so we went for it. Don't worry, I have several new designs coming out that are more fall-themed.

**ASA vs PLA Filament**
If you plan on using this on hot days for extended periods of time, use ASA filament, it will be less prone to warping overtime in the hot sun. PLA can warp. I tested this on a full day when it was 85 degrees and it didn't warp because the pool was cool. But If left sitting outside of the pool it could warp

**Phoney Cactus**

I designed this Moon Cactus Phone Stand in collaboration with [ForgeCore](thangs.com/forgecore)

**Did You know?**
The Moon Cactus isn't actually a real cactus. It is actually two cactuses that get cut and grafted together by humans. And since that sounds very unnatural, we decided to play into the unnaturalness by turning it into a mechanical phone stand.

You turn the cactus into a phone stand by lifting it out of the dirt, and untwisting in a satisfying motion! That way you can always have a phone stand where you need it without having something ugly sitting on your table / desk.

The model is assembled with 4 screws. We wanted to make it fully 3D printable but the screws make it feel way more secure and strong than the purely 3D printed version.

Print the top "flower" (Scion) with any color of your choosing!
