Flex fabric soda can bag

I want to attribute https://www.printables.com/model/544241-3d-printed-fabric, which inspires me to make this fabric/slot system. Especially the unique linking mechanism which is different from NASA fabric but has very good properties.

I always reward myself a can of soda when I did some labor at home or outside to cool me down. If I carry a backpack, I can put the soda can in the side pockets. But sometimes I only want to take the soda can with me.

This soda can bag holds one can of soda and have two loops to attach a shoulder strap on. You can also carry the empty can in the bag on your way back.

This bag use the slot/insert system I designed so it could extend 3D printed fabric to various applications. In this make, both the loop and connectors has inserts on it so they can be installed on the fabric with a unified interface. See my other makes https://makerworld.com/zh/models/580973#profileId-502396 https://makerworld.com/zh/models/550291#profileId-477241 https://makerworld.com/zh/models/580850 if you are interested in the slot/insert system for 3D printed fabric applications.

This bag also comes with different color patterns. Choose the pattern you like or print any of them as a single color bag. AMS is needed but waste is optimized to minimum. Only 4 filament changes needed.   This video and photo is using the diagnal stripes pattern.  For other patterns, the profile comes with a picture of the pattern for how does it looks like.   If you like one of the patterns, show your making in the comments for others to see.  If you have ideas of other patterns, share your ideas in the comments.

In case you need to test with other types of filament, use these 8x8 test blocks https://makerworld.com/zh/models/582881#profileId-504011 which takes much less time to print.

If you like my ‘slot/insert’ system, boost, show your make, or leave a comment or suggestion or ideas. Your like will be my drive.

Build steps

Caution: this making need some intermediate knowledge about slicer.
this making can be fragile and might break under certain force with some small piece fall out, don't give it to little kids.

1. Choose a profile with the pattern you like.
2. Print the fabric, the bottom, the 16 connectors
3. Install the fabric to the bottom, click the inserts on the bottom to the small slot loops at the bottom of fabric (see video). Note, check alignment before install!
4. Install connectors to the seam of the bag, start from the bottom and goes to the top (see video)
5. Install strap on the loops on top
6. Now you can carry your soda can around with this soda can bag!
