Where are the lids / handles / add-on parts for the Can Holders?
They’re all on my MakerWorld page:
https://makerworld.com/en/@animuL67/upload
Find the matching version/size of your Can Holder and use the add-on parts from that file.
I keep them centralized like this so when I make updates, I only have to fix things in one place instead of across a bunch of files.
What is the line running up the side of my print?
That’s the seam. It’s unavoidable—it’s just how most 3D printing works.
I set my files so the seam is placed at the back of the printer, which means:
You should orient the can holder facing left or right
The seam ends up on the side of the part
I’ve found that’s the least noticeable location.
You can improve it with:
Different filament (some hide seams better)
Seam settings (like scarf seams)
Pressure advance tuning
But honestly, the best low-effort solution is just keeping it on the side.
My lid is too loose / too tight
This comes down to filament variation. Different materials shrink/expand differently, so slip fits won’t ever be perfect across the board.
What I recommend:
Too loose → scale to 100.5%
Too tight → scale to 99.5%
I designed things so you can adjust the smaller parts instead of reprinting the bigger ones.
How do I change colors at certain layer heights?
If the model is split into parts:
Select each object from the list (left side in Bambu Studio)
Assign colors directly
(This is the easiest and preferred method)
If it’s NOT split:
Slice the model
Use the vertical slider on the right
Move to the height you want
Right-click → change filament
Repeat as needed, then re-slice
I generally avoid painting.
Where is [specific model]?
Models are either:
MakerWorld → usually includes my logo or branded versions
Patreon → member-only versions (no branding)
My Patreon organization isn’t great right now—I know.
I’m working on restructuring it so everything is easier to find.
How do I send you a picture / get help?
Best way is through Facebook:
https://facebook.com/animuL67Labs
That’s where I can respond quickest and go back-and-forth easily. If you previously contacted me on my personal Facebook I cannot respond - Facebook locked my account due to the increase in activity.
Can I sell or share the digital files?
No — please don’t sell or redistribute the digital files, it severs the link back to me.
Instead, share a link to where my original files are located.
I may revisit this depending on feedback.
Can I remix your files?
Yes, with a couple guidelines:
Give proper credit and link back to the original file
Do not include the add-on parts in your upload
Do not use the common trademarked name
If you want, you can also upload your remix as a profile on my original file.
Can I put my own logo on the bottom of your models?
I’d prefer that you don’t add your own logo to the bottom. At that point it starts to feel more like rebranding rather than customization.
I’m already offering versions without my logo, which means there’s no attribution at all and the model is essentially generic. Adding another brand on top of that crosses into claiming the design.
This is mainly to protect the original work and avoid situations where it could eventually get passed around as someone else’s.
Side logos, text, and other customizations are totally fine. Co-branding in listings or packaging (for example, “ACME 3D Printing LLC – Customized Can Holder” with attribution to me) is also completely fine.
Feel free to ask other questions below in the comments, I do try to respond to everyone but its geeting extremely difficult. If I haven't responded in a while check back with me- you won't bother me, I do want to respond and help.

What file is the best one for 12 oz and snug fit lid?
Hi I was wondering if you have a flip lid availble if so where can I locate that file. I would like to make it with the filp lid
@animuL67 Would you be able to do one without the handle and the spigot. My wife likes the idea of the cooler just without those pieces.
Any thoughts to adding threads to the lids? This would help people that have issues with pulling the lids open if too tight, or help with lids that after too loose. Either way, awesome designs!
-Screw-on lid
how about one big enough to hold a titos or ciroc liter bottle

We need one as a liner for starbucks/coffee sized drinks!!
Hello, where can i find the baseball stitching for the skinny 12 oz? Do you think you could add it to the themed lids in your collection section? I love how you have that so organized.
Do you do request to re-size files that we have? I'm in love with a file on MW and I posted a request to the creator to see if they offer different sizes but I haven't gotten a response :(

My standard 12 oz cooler without branding holes are not circular. Can someone please send me the correct image? Thanks
It states above in the FAQ that you allow remixes of your models. However we are unable to upload remixes to MakerWorld due to how you have the Standard Digital File Licenses setup on there. I remixed your cooler can holder with a twist-on lid and uploaded it yesterday, even followed your guidelines, but it was just taked down saying it needed to be uploaded as a remix and not as an original upload. Could you update the licenses on your MakerWorld models to allow remixes? Thanks
Thank you. As a senior newbie this was very helpful.
I would love ones that fit a plastic cup like a liner. People keep thinking they can put liquids in the can coolers. So one that you can add your own liner to, would be amazing! Great files. New member!
how about one that fits a red solo cup
This is on my list and excited for when I can finally get to it.... I also plan to do them for restaurant cups like the foam or plastic ones so they are essentially a liner. I actually have a contact with the corporate offices of a major US based restaurant chain with over 3000 locations and their drinks are a huge part of their menu.... seems like there could be something there but we will see. :)
Just a heads up. I printed a batch of lids at 100.50% scale. And they fit nice and tight. With a little bit of wear and tear or a bit of sanding they should be just right. 👍
What are the best fuzzy skin settings to give that old retro Gott Jug look. So triggering from my old football days, brings back horrible memories of two-a-day practices in the Oklahoma August heat...lol
The files should have fuzzy skin settings saved from the one I did with that texture, you just have to turn it on. I had set the distance and thickness both to .1 and used the fuzzy skin painting tool with the fill bucket set at 1 or 2 and painted only the main smooth surfaces (not the grooved surface) I really like how it turned out.
Hi- how do I unblur things? I can’t see anything so not sure how I’m supposed to purchase without seeing them.. maybe I’m doing something wrong? Never used this app before. Thanks
Hi, as a free member you should be able to see everything except the downloads since those are reserved for the subscribers; however I do have some free versions on makerworld so you can test them out first. makerworld.com/@animuL and makerworld.com/@animuL67 are my two accounts
Hey the super drinkers asked is there 16oz option 💀
Can you make one without the ridges going around
Thank you!!
Thanks, I was one in the "where's the lids" bunch. I don't have a Bambu printer, so going to Makerworld isn't usually my jump to. In fact I rarely ever use it.
Tips on personalization? does a logo glue on here nicely? Or do you suggest adding "text" onto the file?
Have completed a couple for the table demo koozies, what might help people is using there logo as a modifier versus printed part, it removes the stand out text problem, unless there after that effect, takes a little practice creating the modifier or modifiers for color reasons but well worth the effort
Print the koozie on its side and not up and down?
yeah dont do that lol up and down is the only way
Do i have to sign up again for another creator's item
Can you explain this with a little more detail or an example? I'm not sure I fully understand and I don't want to give a bad answer.
WOW great job explaining things. Im sure this will help a lot of people. I did find that doing the fuzzy skin does help hide the seam line. I appreciate all that your doing.
you can also change the seam alignment to random in your slicer and you wont have any big seams
You are so awesome for explaining and helping so much !
Thank you
Thank you.
👊🏻 thank you! Have you considered creating a tolerance test for the lid? Only a partial piece of the bottom of the lid so one could print that first to test the fit of the part that connects to their coozie and adjust sizing accordingly. Another Patreon artist I follow does this for her containers. It's helpful so we don't have to print an entire lid to adjust sizing up and down. Just a thought of something you can potentially include that on the MW file 😁
That would be awesome. I found that when printing on my A1 Mjni, the lids are too loose. When I print them on my H2D, they come out fine. Not sure if it’s because the H2D filament is dryer due to the AMS as it’s the exact same brand, color, even tried same roll. Weird.
I joined but it keeps telling me to joined
It shows you joined as a free member.
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks tom for everything
Awesome
I am looking for a Washington State football helmet. I see that you recently did a Washington one. Was wondering if you were going to follow that up with the Washington state one
Ill put that on my helmet list. I've had to set logo work aside for now but I'm planning to jump back on those at some point.
Thank you for this breakdown!
الو
Thank you, I appreciate this.
