Soda Stream Carbonated Bottle Rack

thingiverse

So we adore our soda stream machine, using branded syrup in a precise five-to-one ratio mix. The original carbonated bottles come beautifully packaged in a sturdy square box for effortless storage. However, when we return these bottles to the store for an exchange, all we receive is the bottle itself, with no accompanying box. We acknowledge that saving the boxes was within our control, but it simply didn't occur. Consequently, we crafted a custom rack designed to allow six refilled bottles to be stacked in a neat pyramid formation within the upper cabinet, eliminating concerns about them toppling over and potentially harming someone's toes! I utilize inches as my standard unit of measurement; thus, this design will require adjustment to reflect the metric equivalent of 25.4. Two prints are required due to their considerable length – each measuring seven-point-eight inches long. To facilitate optimal results, we opted to print them at an angle within our printer's bed. Instructions I encountered a minor challenge in maintaining this rack securely attached to glass surfaces; observe the right side of the accompanying image and you'll notice a slight curling issue. This prototype is actually version two – I expanded the interior by adding supports in hopes that it wouldn't warp excessively. What ultimately proved most effective was incorporating a brim layer both within and without. Utilizing a 0.2mm layer thickness with 40% infill settings, no support material became necessary during this printing process.
