This 3d printed chest bottle holder is meant to hold the bottle tightly the two arms act as a sort of sprint locking a standard 1L “smart water” bottle in place but still allow for it to be removed. In addition to the print you will also need some Velcro strap cut to length. It will loop through the holes and around one of the shoulder straps of your backpack. the hole at the top is there if you would like to tie it off to the upper d-ring on your backpack shoulder strap.

 

This print is ready to print straight from the file with custom supports and at a 45 degree angle for maximum strength across the model. After printing the custom support should just snap away.  One without the custom support is also included but not recommend for printing unless you have limited space on your printer.

 

My two Velcro strap loops where between 8-12 inches depending on how thick the backpack strap is.

A heat resistant plastic like PETG is recommended with a 10-15% infill, but if the melting point of PLA is not a concern of yours it will work well.

 

P.S. it's still a little bit looser than I would like I'm working on fine tuning the design, but it's pretty solid.
