Water Bottle Holder

With everyone so focused on printing masks, SelfCAD decided to design something that will help people outside of the quarantine. Take a look at the design process here.

I agree with you. I think this supports all types of Wheelchairs. Kindly check this 3D printed version.

Thank you, John, now things are more clear. The model sounds good. But I suggest you consider an aspect; you say that it is sufficient to rescale the model for different kinds of bottles, I think it is…

As far as I know, I see an issue. The grip to the wheelchair. Can you put a better view? If it is 3D printed on ABS or PLA it seems difficult to adapt to different wheelchair structures.

Thank you, John,

now things are more clear. The model sounds good. But I suggest you consider an aspect; you say that it is sufficient to rescale the model for different kinds of bottles, I think it is partially true as a bare scaling may finish distorting the structure. Probably some parts should only be scaled in some direction (e.g. elongated). But it is a detail.
Instead, I think that more robust support (I have adopted this solution in other cases) is making the support with the screw the larger as needed then add some adhesive soft rubber tape (like those used to insulate the windows) that increase the gript despite the low elasticity of the support.
