The third iteration of a bottle cage that can hold relatively tall bottles and is relatively lightweight. I found that the previous version often had a lot of bulging seams and zits which could scratch my bottles, so I wanted to move to sleeker design, which also ended up being a bit lighter as well. However, I find this design is best printed with organic/tree supports near the top, otherwise the nozzle would catch and cause the print to lift off the build plate.
The cage is designed to hold standard 73mm outer diameter bottles, but I also designed it to work well with my bottle cage storage container. The ‘depth’ of the holder is 135mm (~5"), tall enough for taller, 24oz (~700mL) sport bottles.
The design separates the ring part of the cage from the end stopper, and requires drilling through some sacrificial bridges to fit a M3x20 screw and locknut (see a previous design for assembly photo). There is also a variant that doesn't have the screw/nut features and can just be glued together. Note that in testing I have found the screw version is much more robust than the glue version.
