I watch Slant3D on YouTube quite a bit and I enjoy watching his design and builds. One of my favorite things that he does is takes designs that others have done and attempted to make them even better for mass production 3D printing that his company does. I've noticed he does this cool chunky type of design that offers a really smooth modern aesthetic that is so pleasing to the eye.
His recent video Can I Design a Perfect iPhone Standby Dock and Redesigning YouTuber Products for 3D Print on Demand videos are exemplary of this style of design that I really like myself.
I ran into this issue at my local grocer when purchasing my favorite carbonated drink Martinelli's Carbonated Apple Juices. When I bought several because they are sold loose on the shelf, (much like sauces are), I ended up with a bunch of glass bottles loosely thrown in a cart clanking about. That's not ideal for a number of reasons and I was a little concerned about the glass breaking. When I got to the bagging area they really only could just throw them all together in a couple of plastic bags and that's how they had to come home with me. I just don't like this that my bottles are loose and clanking about.
So my need was there and my inspiration of this nice and chunky modern design. I ended up designing this product.
It works perfectly. Takes several hours to print but it seems to be just durable enough for what I needed it for. I only did 2 wall loops and 10% grid infill and printed this in white PLA which is what I had at the time. I still think it would be nice in an muted apple red color. or perhaps a deep red.
I found out that it actually works for beer bottles and other types of bottles too and it fits perfectly in my fridge two of these deep. I ended up making four of these over the past day.
If you would like to build your own the files are available for purchase here on Printables.
