🍾 BottleBuddy: Universal Bottle Clip & Carrier

Tired of holding your water or soda bottle while walking, traveling, or working out? Meet the BottleBuddy! The ultimate 3D-printed gadget that transforms almost any bottle into an easy-to-carry companion in seconds.

Whether you want a comfortable, easy-grip handle to hold your bottle securely or want to go completely hands-free, this design does it all. Thanks to its clever, universal design, you can easily snap the BottleBuddy around the neck of your bottle. Use the built-in carabiner to clip it to your belt loop, backpack, or bag, or simply use it as a convenient handle. Snap on. Clip in. Go!

✨ Key Features:

• Dual-Function Carrier: Functions perfectly as both a comfortable hand grip for effortless holding and a secure carabiner for hands-free carrying.
• Universal Fit: Works flawlessly with most standard PET bottles (water, soda) as well as glass (beer) bottles.
• Print-in-Place Hinge: The hinge is completely print-in-place. This means it is strong, durable, and fully functional straight off the print bed—no complex assembly required.
• 100% Snap-Fit (No screws needed!): All parts snap together effortlessly. No screws, glue, or extra hardware are required for assembly.
• No Supports Required: The model is fully optimized to print without any support material. This ensures a super clean finish and saves filament!
• 2-Color Friendly: Customize your style! The design is perfect for printing in two colors (ideal for AMS setups or manual filament swaps).

🚀 How to Use:

1. Print the parts.
2. Snap the clip and the handle together.
3. Snap the circular clip around the neck of your favorite bottle (just below the cap).
4. Use it as a comfortable handle to carry your drink, or clip it to your pants or bag!
