that is a good idea, thank you... and I just may have some lysing around!

This is the kind of ideas I wished those chinese accesories makers can introduce since they have access to injection molding. Instead, they just making the same ole mat. Definitely should pitch to them to integrate your idea with their mat for the best of both worlds.

True, but it’s satisfying to make it in my office after thinking about it for a while! As a community, we have the insight and tools to do a pretty good job

 

[Daryoon]

Yup. It's great to flesh out the ideas and bring it to life with 3d printing. Much thanks to you for sharing too.

If that fails, there’s always 3M VHB tape which is my go-to for semi-perm install. Though manufacturer says some types of their VHB line are permanent, with some elbow grease and Goo Gone, they can still be removed cleanly.

Sandman, here’s a couple things for your toolbox: I use the neoprene foam as non-slip for my 3D prints, but if you want water proof, there’s neoprene solid rubber (also self adhesive) or bathroom/shower anti-slip tape which I use for my water bottles. If you wanna cover up your print with a rubbery feel but tough, you can you use a truck bed liner or flex-seal spray (further you spray, the more awesome the texture). Just make sure to let it cure for at least 2 days.

Give them time. In their defense, several after-market providers have polled this forum for ideas of products we would like. I suspect we will soon see a similar offering from at least one of them (and then several others shortly following as is the nature of their business).

I have a garbage bag, a roll of paper towels and a can of spray-away in my console. I bought a dollar tree bin and two plastic rulers across the bin to make two sections. THIS is a way better solution! I have to get my nephew to print out some of these.
Thanks!

It would be amazing to do this, but with L-track on the sides and MOLLE for the cross panel.

I like the way you think! But IMO just a tad over-the-top. ;-)

Definitely over the top! But what about the CT isn't? In all seriousness though, any L-Track and MOLLE accessories would be usable then, from quickfists to clips to latches to nets, etc.

I just put it in the CT and the fit is about perfect! The water bottle holder does occasionally get pulled out along with the water bottle - so I am thinking a little dab of glue from a glue gun (not so much for the adhesive quality but for the slightly increased width of the fence and hence friction fitting).
The construct seems plenty strong- but if I had to print it again, I might make the bridge across the two round holders a bit more robust.

I just thought of possible solution to bottle holder getting pulled, but requires redesign. Make the slat ends as wedges so the fence and the rails snap together.

I did consider dovetailing the fence but, because the rails are tilted outward, that would mean removing the whole thing every time you want to change the fence location. I wanted it to be easy to move the fence as needed. I suspect the reason the bottle holder pops loose is the fence is flexing from the large mass of the water bottles. Make it stiffer (add some additional members between the cups) and it won't likely pop out. Or use two slots (spacing is 50mm).

Ahh, makes sense.

If this proves to be a big enough issue, I will do just what you suggested and actually then, I could add a couple dividers to make cubbies. Actually, the round holders themselves would make natural partitions. My next step is to see if sanding the holders would just allow the water bottles to slip out easier. (It ain’t that broke)
