3D Printed Beer Bottle Locks are Here

[Brian_Krassenstein]

How often have you reached into the fridge to find the last beer was already taken? Never fear: the beer bottle lock is here. Using Fusion 360 design software and a Makerbot Replicator2 (or another 3D printer) these 3D printed beer bottle locks prove functional for yourself or to take care of the beer hoarders on your holiday gift list. After design and printing (it took 6 hours to print 6 screws here), assembly proves straightforward using basic hinges, screws, and a hardware store purchased luggage lock. If you follow these straightforward instructions (http://www.instructables.com/id/Beer-Bottle-Lock/#step3), you can make sure there's enough beer to keep everyone happy this holiday season!
