Description
I really like my 24oz Owala Freesip water bottle, but there's one thing that's dumb: the locking mechanism that doubles as a carry loop. I want to carry my bottle by the handle while also ensuring it's locked.
My models are inspired by the S'well bottle handle (which doesn't fit around the Owala). The ring has an inner diameter of 75mm--just enough for it to stretch around the bottle. Once it's on, it's hard to get off!
There are two versions: one with flat sides and one with rounded sides. If you use the one with rounded sides, I recommend attaching it upside down (so that the flat bottom of the print faces up). I find this to be more comfortable in my hand.
I used a 0.4mm nozzle with four walls for strength, but three is probably enough. You just want to ensure that the ring is solid and that the handle won't flex too much when you pick the bottle up.
This definitely works for the 24oz stainless steel bottle, and I think will work for the 16oz version. I'm not sure if it will fit around the Tritan plastic version of the Freesip.
