Milk Carton Opener
This is a 3D printed milk carton opener. It is intended to stabilize the milk carton so that you can open the milk only using one hand. This works best if a piece of dycem mat is placed underneath so that it does not slide all over the table.
**This idea was originally created by Nuege Xiong from Harding High School** All credit goes to him
