Fig. 8 Final Design of Cup lid

There are some physics behind the design, many coffee lids feature some type of groove designed to channel sloshed liquid back into the cup. Originally this design is basically for those coffee-loving drivers, but sticking a cup of liquid in a cupholder involves quite a lot of bouncing and sloshing. That way, at least some of the liquid spilled out onto the top of the lid can drain back into the cup.

We have seen that a tiny hole punched in the top of the lid, that isn't just for tickling your nose but an essential part of our drinking experience. When liquid flows through a single in a closed container, it creates a vacuum, because those liquid sucks inside the container, the air cannot go in or out. The tiny hole is to allow air into the container so that when we drink, the coffee flows out in an even stream!

You can insert Decal with any pictures and logos, if you wish. I picked Fusion 360 logo this time.
