molle water bottle holder

prusaprinters

<p>This allows you to attach a water bottle to any piece of molle compatible equipment. It can be useful if you want to save space inside a backpack or just want quicker access to your water. I designed it for my backpack, but it's molle, so be creative!</p><p>It is designed to fit a water bottle 81mm in diameter, but i've included a .step file, so feel free to edit to make it fit your bottle. If you can't edit it youself message me or leave a comment, I might be able to help you.</p><p>The rubber band pull is optional and tbh it isn't great, but sadly i've lost the editable file for that. I might improve on it later on.</p><p><strong>Print instructions:</strong></p><p>I printed mine with PETG on my Prusa Mini using the default 0.2mm quality profile. PLA would probably work fine too.</p><p>The backplates work better if printed with 4 perimeters, in order to strengthen the area around the boltholes.</p><p>The backplates are to be printed with supports for the holes</p><p>Top and bottom parts are to be printed “standing up”</p><p><strong>Printed parts:</strong></p><ul><li>2x bottle holder back</li><li>1x bottle holder bottom</li><li>1x bottle holder top</li><li>1x bottle holder rubber band pull <strong>(optional)</strong></li></ul><p><strong>Non printed parts:</strong></p><ul><li>8x M4x10 bolts</li><li>8x M4 nuts (better if locking)</li><li>some kind of rubber band</li></ul><p><strong>Assembly:</strong></p><ol><li>Put nuts in the backplates</li><li>Slide backplate under molle webbing</li><li>Feed elastic through the holes in the top part and tie to desired length</li><li><strong>(optional) </strong>Slide the pull on the elastic</li><li>Bolt bottom to backplate</li><li>Bolt top to backplate</li></ol>
