Some people with arthritis or other afflictions have difficulty opening the ring pull “easy open” tabs found on drink cans. This assistive device provides for a larger grip and leverage when needed. I made an earlier version of this (see remix reference), but after using it for a while I ran into a can with a wide tab that did not fit the earlier version. The first version should work with all drink cans; this second version is for other types of cans with much wider tab rings.

In particular it will  fit the larger rings found on pull-ring cans that remove the entire top of the can, so that it can be used to initially break the seal. The lid can then be removed with one of these :

Print Instructions

I printed this in yellow PETG, but PLA should work also; in general :

• 0.3mm layer height
• 10% grid infill
• 3 perimeters
