Foldable can carrier — this time with proof it actually folds 😄

Last time I posted a carrier here (a glass version, not cans) I got roasted for only showing it in use and never demonstrating the actual point of the design: that it folds flat. Fair criticism, honestly. So this time I made sure to show the whole thing.

This is my foldable 6-can carrier. Same concept as the glass version, but sized for cans, with the same fold-flat hinge mechanism in the middle.

Here’s what you’re looking at:

**‱**	Fully unfolded with 6 cans loaded — handle holds the weight without issue  
**‱**	Front view with the cans angled out to the sides, so you can see the hinge mechanism in the middle  
**‱**	And the important part: fully collapsed flat, compact enough for a drawer or a car trunk pocket

Prints in one piece with print-in-place hinges, no assembly required.

I'm probably too late for the Children's Toy Contest, but still want to share what I made!

Hi Everyone!

Here is my submission for the Children's Toys Contest. I realize I'm quite late, but I'm still hopeful! 

What I've created is a 90's-style Fisher-Price Inspired 3D Printer with an Optional “Rattle-N-Spin” AMS. I modeled the entire thing in Fusion 360, spent about a month prototyping. This was a really fun build for me, personally, because I got to do a lot with different types of gears that I've never used before in my models, and I learned a ton.

I really tried to capture the feel of a 3d printer and the 90s nostalgia of a Fisher Price Toy.

  • 3-Axis controls including X- and Y- axis moving print-head plus a Z-axis moving Print Bed - just like a REAL Bambu Labs Printer!
  • AMS that mimics the “spinning rattles” from 90s plastic toys, as well as some “whack-a-mole” style buttons
  • Visible fat-toothed gears to give the feeling of an old-school STEM toy.
  • Bright colors (of course, you can choose your own colors)
  • Faces and characters that really bring you back.
  • Four “printable” friends: Arty the articulated Dragon, Boaty the benchmark Boat, Scrappy the Scraper, and Eddie Spaghetti. These characters are of course, based on the 4 most common things that folks print on a new 3d printer.

I should also note that I did not use AI in any of the modelling for this project (I did get AI to turn my 3d models into cute cartoon characters for my post). I modeled everything by hand in Fusion 360, including the characters.

I hope folks like this! Please check it out and give me some feedback, whether you love it or hate it.

Foldable 6-Cup Drink Carrier for All-Inclusive Vacations

Ever been sent to the pool bar to grab drinks for the whole family, only to realize you can only carry two or three cups at a time? And of course, the resort doesn’t have any trays available.
That was the inspiration behind this foldable drink carrier.
Designed specifically for the plastic cups commonly used at many all-inclusive resorts, this carrier holds up to 6 drinks securely while remaining compact enough to fit in your luggage. The folding design makes it easy to pack, so it won’t take up valuable suitcase space during your trip.
Features
Holds 6 cups at once
Foldable design for easy packing
Lightweight and travel-friendly
Comfortable carrying handle
Designed around the cups commonly found at all-inclusive resorts
Perfect for pool bars, beaches, hotels, camping, and family vacations
I created this after one too many trips back and forth between the bar and the sunbeds. Now I can bring drinks for the entire family in a single trip.
