Have you ever held a styrofoam cup and felt "ahh. my hand is on fire. i am in pain," or "ahh. my hand is so cold. this beverage mustn't touch my hands anymore" as if you felt as if the styrofoam wasn't inselating enough? Well, forget that second or third styrofoam cup, because its just wasting money. Instead, get yourself this cool and stylish handle for any "thermal insulating" cup that's not doing its job.

Supplies

What you will need is a 3d printer, and some hard plastic filament. If you don't have any of these, please do not worry. You can send the files to a 3d printer farm and pay them to print and ship your models straight to your door.

Print the Parts

DO NOT SCALE PARTS!!! Each part has been scaled to the correct size before hand. Print your parts in any color you choose, or paint them afterwards. For more info on painting 3d prints, please search up suggestions on a search engine of choice, or search a youtube video that may be of help.

Assemble the Pieces

After all of your parts have been acquired, glue the parts together in a shape that looks like the image above. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GLUE YOUR GRIPS IN UPSIDE DOWN!!! No one wants to drink coffee upside down. This whole step can be skipped if you chose to print the model in one piece. Let the whole model dry after assembling and glueing all the pieces in. You can use any strong plastic glue you like, but I recommend 3d gloop, but super glue also works.

Show Off

Get a styrofoam cup filled with your favorite drink. Show off your lavish new styrofoam cup holder and wave it around. Show your friends how fancy you can be. Heck, put molten copper in it to show how your hands ain't getting burned another second from your drink.
