Description
Introducing the Beach Buddy - An all-in-one beach accessory like you've never seen before featuring an articulating 3D printed compliant umbrella for the perfect shade on your drink and belongings no matter where the sun is!
Includes a cup holder, main compartment for wallet/keys/etc. and storing umbrella & arm with magnetic lid, and two small open compartments on either side of the cupholder for quick access to sunglasses or other small items.
Features a folding umbrella which is much improved from my original umbrella design (https://makerworld.com/en/models/499212#profileId-413895)
The fully-3D printed umbrella, along with a separate version with just the umbrella frame and a guide for cutting a top from fabric is included in 3 sizes (all sizes fit single size articulating arm): 179mm, 224mm, 250mm
The beach buddy box is 178x178x76.2mm, making it easy to throw into a beach bag. With the magnets added, the lid is very secure and the compartment is big enough to hold the umbrella and articulating arm.
*Working on a compliant phone mount which will be hot swappable with the umbrella, so if you already have shade covered, you can use the arm to hold your phone instead. Please like this model if you want me to update!
