As some of you beautiful, beautiful piggies might already have noticed, I'm currently playing around with some designs for pouches (which are practically finished and ready to be realized), as well as a bottle holder; the latter still needs some more 💕, I think, and that's where you come in ❗🙂
I'm trying to wrap-up the design for the bottle holder before my new order of materials arrives, since I'd then be able to realize it together with the other items I have in mind.
My miraculous mind just now managed to - at least in my little world - improve on the only a few days ago trialed "folded bottom", and I think it's quite a banger design for a bottom, but I'd still like to hear some input on the two versions.
Furthermore, I'd like to hear what y'all would like to see added onto a bottle holder, be it for modularity, looks or added usability. 😁
  • Folded bottom V1:
  • Folded bottom V2:
The V2's still a bit rough (could be more symmetrical) but it's a quick-and-dirty trial, so there's the first improvement, what else?
  • General design of the prototype as of now:
I've got quite some solid things in mind already, but I'm curious as to what y'all can come up with!
Great work.

And further?

Well, i don't think the folded bottom is a good idea. You could make it flat for the sake of stability, imo.

I keep on hearing the "stability" argument, but why?
It's thought to be attached to a backpack and the likes, that's the point of the PALS, after all.
Why would I take the whole pouch off and on, when I can simply pull the bottle out and place it on the table on it's own?
Flat, boxed, circular, it's all boring, and used a thousand times.

Listen to the market.

No, I adhere to rationality, for it's stupid to want to attach a bottle holder, only to take it off and carry it by hand, or place it on a table, wtf?!
Take out the bottle and save yourself the hassle of having to reattach the holder, ffs. 😆

Folded bottom version 2 is an improvement. Looks good.

Yep, I'm a simp for symmetry. 🙂
