My first published model!
It all started when a friend's Stanley mug had a broken button, and they reached out to me for help. They needed a replacement button, and I saw an opportunity to go a little bit overboard and turn a simple fix into something more interesting.
My friend is a ranger dedicated to fighting rhino poaching in South Africa's Kruger National Park. With this in mind, I aimed to also create a replacement button that not only served its purpose but also carried a meaningful touch.
I enjoyed experimenting with different colors and different levels of embossing so I don't think he will need another button from me soon… :)
Replacement details:
This replacement is for the Stanley Classic One-Hand Vacuum Lid, model number EN12546-1 (https://www.stanley1913.com/products/classic-one-hand-vacuum-mug-lid)
I aim to design buttons for newer models soon.
Variants
![]() Standard | ![]() Rhino | ![]() Zebra |
Printing details:
I used supports only under the cylinder, opting for a 0.12 layer height to capture intricate details on the emboss:
