Glass bottle carrier

I don't like using reused plastic bottles to collect water from a fountain at all. For that reason, I reuse glass bottles. However, it's problematic to carry several glass bottles in a bag, as they tend to clink against each other, and placing them on the ground is a nightmare—they often tip over.

That's why I created this model, which allows me to use a bag (I use a large, sturdy bag from Lidl) to transport 8 glass bottles without them clashing against each other, making it much easier to set them down on the ground.

I print it in PLA with a layer height of 0.32.

No supports are needed.

The model is designed to be printed on a standard 220x220 bed like the one on an Ender 3. It’s separated into four pieces that need to be glued together with cyanoacrylate, two for each module. Each module holds 4 bottles.

There are extra holes that connect the bottom of the bag to the outside for ventilation. For better ventilation, it might be advisable to add rubber feet to the printed piece, so that it stays elevated from the bottom of the bag and improves airflow. Personally, I don’t use them because I haven't noticed any moisture at the bottom, but these holes are there just in case. Additionally, they help save some material during printing, as it’s a large piece.

Dimensions of the assembled model (with all four parts): Length: 350mm Width: 174mm Height: 170mm

Diameter of the bottle holes: 84.5mm I use it with 81mm Solán de Cabras bottles and 75mm Cabreiroá bottles.

You will need a sturdy bag that can accommodate the printed piece.

If you usually collect water from a fountain at home and don't like plastic bottles, this model will make your life a bit easier.
