Made a standard lid opener on my 3D printer. Drew up a simple pry tool to open Ball jars. Works great. If anyone is interested and has a printer, I uploaded the file on Printables. Will post the link if you want it.

  2. I put the flat part of a butter knife on the lid and pry gently with a churchkey opener, works like a charm. Your device looks fancier though, haha.

    Old fashioned beer can opener works like a charm. The round end.

    r/functionalprint might like this as well. I think it’s very cool because it makes opening jars easier for people who might need some extra help

    This is very cool. I use a church key but my techie husband would love this.

    Boom!! Thank you. Ended up buying Brix keys, which I haven’t tried yet, for my family when I gift them canned items. Appreciate your ingenuity and willingness to share! I will try making these!
