Bic (tm) Lighter Safety Cover

thingiverse

I wanted to carry a Bic ™ lighter in my messenger bag, but was worried that the butane release lever might get depressed in the crush of the bag and either (bad) drain the lighter, or (worse!) create an explosive situation in the bag. This simple solution is a thin capsule that slides over the top of the lighter and covers the butane release lever and the spark wheel. It holds onto the lighter by a weak spring grip, and provides finger-sized cutaways on each side so it's easy to slide it slid off when the lighter is needed. Obviously fits only the iconic Bic lighter (introduced in 1973 and still going strong!). Instructions Print the thing in your favorite material, clean up, and use. No assembly required and no moving parts.
