As someone with a mild disability opening bottles can be a little difficult, especially to break those seals. This thing is a 5th generation prototype suitable to release for others to use. Its large and one side has a grip hole for bottle tops around 30mm diameter and the other for 40mm. For me this covers every drink bottle I get, water, softdrink, milks, fruit juices. The inner grips angle inward so slip over and down onto most bottle tops easily for grip regardless of the texture on the bottletop lids. The outer shape is large and overal slightly oval shaped so it provides a good comfortable shape to get a grip on for easy turning. I printed with hard PLA and its great, flexible filaments may offer more grip and comfort. The PLA has stood up to heavy duty dishwasher action so should be safe for you. There is a hole through the middle too if you want to hang it on a hook or if a lid gets stuck in the grip you can poke it out from the otherside with your finger.
Very handy for any
