I needed a couple of sleeves for the bottles I carry over with me to the supermarket on my bike rack. It's better to avoid putting two or three glass bottles together on the bike crate, they tend to hit each other.

This is the dual version of my Bottle Sleeve

The sleeve was designed in OpenSCAD, I am a very novice user. A couple of things are adjustable, i.e. diameter, thickness, height etc. Most variables are straightforward, a couple of them need a bit of playing around to get a hold of how they work. Feel free to remix or enhance anything you like. PLA came out OK, but I believe TPU or some other elastic filament would be better.

Since this is a large item, I don't think any settings would have any effect on the outcome, as long as you don't get layer separation and stuff, of course.

You could also post-process the item with some paint or even better a few layers of some elastic plastidip-like coating maybe, to make it more durable to hitting stuff.

openSCAD file is on constant update, please make sure you are using the latest version.
