3D Printed Beer Tap Handle

One day, Olson Kundig bought themselves a 3D printer, and then held an office competition to design and print handles for the office Kegerator, to get the staff up to speed on using the new equipment. I used the opportunity to learn Rhino for the first time, as well as how to solder. I found an LED kit online somewhere that would light the LEDs in series, and wired it to a mercury switch so they triggered when the handle was tipped. Neat!

My design didn’t win the competition, but it was the only one that lit up!
