About this 3D model

This is a set of connectors that turn your empty Red Bull (or Perrier or other 250 mL cans) into a fun building toy! Every time you empty a can, just send a connector to the printer. Before you know it, you will be buildng a can castle! It is a great way to give a second life to a large number of these cans, and whatever you build could have its own function (make a table, lamp, or whatever). There are 13 different variations of single squares, with different configurations of tabs and slots for linking the connectors to each other. I have also included pre-assembled arrays of two by one, two by two, three by one, and three by two can connectors for a more lego-like building experience. In all cases, the bottom of the can goes in the deeper side of the connector (and the top goes in the other side). You may have to scale them very slightly to get the right grip on the can with your printer and print settings, but once you do, the resulting structures are quite sturdy.
