This bottle opener is a riff off of the coin-operated bottle opener included with the driver package for the Prusa i3 Mk3 3D printer from Prusa Research. However, I have changed a few things:
1.) The dime is embedded in the print. I did this for fun and to try out the process (see misc. notes in print settings).
2.) There are also two 8x3 rare-earth magnets embedded in the print, so that it can stick to a fridge and be readily accessible.
3.) There is now plenty of real-estate on the handle to add a photo or your own logo, etc. In my case, one of our company logos is an octagon with the logo inside, so I did a 0.4mm extrude off the plane of the top of the handle - and used Prusa ColorPrint to do an actual color change so that this print ends up being two-colors.
This object prints without supports, which is important: if your slicer adds internal supports to the cavities in question, you will be unable to embed the objects.
EDIT: I've updated the file, as I've made the following improvement: the layer height at which the magnets and the dime are embedded are the same (for ease of printing/embedding the objects manually, e.g. to reduce one color change/embed step)
