Description
I wanted a bottle holder that securely held disposable water bottles and small Gatorades. Most of the designs I found have the same major flaw, they are thin and printed vertically making them fragile. The rings are obviously very resilient, and the horizontally printed front and rear supports are both flexible and strong. I simply super-glued the supports in place on the base, let dry, then attach them to the top ring and let cure. Once fully dried I attach the middle ring. I placed filament size holes in the supports and middle right so it will be perfectly centered.
I was shocked how strong the whole design came out and went back making the supports and rings thinner. I'm still very impressed with its strength. Feedback always welcome.
Note: The two pictures of it mounted on the bike are from v1, the main picture with white background is v2. I made the design slimmer, and in v1 the bottom ring was slightly taller, in v2 it's not.
