fun with acrylic

For my second attempt at opening a bottle,

I tried bending the 1/8" acrylic to give it more strength. I used the bottle as the form.

It opened the bottle, but I knew I could do better.

.

For the third round of prototypes I decided to combine both curved and flat plains.

My idea in doing this was to maximize the amount of surface contact with the

bottle cap. This time I used the bottle to bend half of the acrylic and a flat piece of metal

to help hold the original flat shape.

.

By mistake I stretched the acrylic too far, but it turned out to give more surface contact with the bottle cap.

.

This one worked great!
