Description

I often leave a partial bottle of water in the truck and it gets warm/hot here in the Southern California temperatures. Sometimes the warm/hot water is all I have. So I made a bottle holder that fits in the air vent louvers that allows cold air to blow across the bottle and cool the contents. YES, it works. You may be surprised by the change in temperature.

You may be able to fit a canned beverage in it.

7-27-2018 updated .stl file to new design that re-enforces the arms.

7-30-2018 ******WARNING****** PLA+ does not withstand the heat of the closed cab. My holder with a half bottle of water in it became mishaped and bent from the heat buidup in the cab ( from sitting all day without windshield screen). I will try using ABS and see if it holds up better.

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
