Plastic Bucket Lid Popper
thingiverse
This is an as-yet untested lid removal tool for industrial grade plastic buckets of approx 300mm diameter. (similar to these ones: http://www.nairobiplastics.com/resources/IB%205%20LTR%20GBWM.jpg.opt150x171o0%2C0s150x171.jpg) As I have 50 hours of printing to do, I am posting this early - if you print it before I do, please post your make, and comments so that I may improve the design. Usage: The intended method is to lay this on the rim and hook the lip of the tool under the rim of the bucket, and lever upwards, and then release, and move around the rim of the bucket, in a can-opener like fashion (sort of) Dual wielding: The more efficient way would be to use two at once and shuffle one tool at a time. I'll upload a video when the design is complete to demonstrate this concept. DWG and IPT files included if you wish to make your own mod.
