A buddy of mine was crafting up some Nuka-Cola caps so I designed these for him. They hold your bottle caps from rotating or moving while you work on them. They are currently designed for holding caps right side up only - let me know if you want a version for upside down caps.
These held any of the non-mangled beer bottle caps I tried to put in them -- some of them required a bit of squeezing to get in, and others were loose and jiggled a little bit (but still couldn't rotate). Your results may vary.
UPDATE: I've added capjiglite_v1.10stack.stl after reports that capjigv1.05stack.stl wasn't very accepting of caps that were a bit deformed. As you can see, this new one has fewer triangle posts. This means caps will go in a bit easier -- they may also jiggle a bit more, but still won't be able to move or rotate.
Print capjigkeyv1.0.stl to lock two or more of the jigs together. The key fit perfectly for me, --I had to put it in upside down since those bottom layers are fatter.
