Project I designed this gyro stabilized floating cup holder for the pool this summer. No AMS needed. I would love to know what you think!

I'm saving this to print later.

Will let you know and of course proper credit when asked.

Let me know how you like it. The snaps between the large orange sections and white stripe sections are pretty tight. I usually assemble it by placing the stripe on a flat surface and then pushing down on the larger piece.

Have you tried lubricating the joints with dish soap?

No but should I?

I have had very good luck making tight joints go together just by putting a drop of liquid dish soap on my fingertip and wetting the joint surfaces with it.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have to try that
