upside down bottle holder

thingiverse

This is a simple solution for an old problem. I was tired of waiting for the hair gel to flow to spout when I turned the bottle over. This device holds the bottle upside down so the gel is always ready to dispense immediately. This would also work well for shampoo bottles that are nearly empty. The holder is sized for a 28.5 mm diameter hole that is about 25 mm long. This gave the 27.5 mm cap, 1 mm clearance on the diameter. For other hole sizes simply scale the .stl by the following ratio: ratio = (new hole diameter)/(28mm) After I posted I noticed that there were several other similar items: Holder for Odorex by VirtualValley http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:650328 Holder for Nivea deodorant by MackeHa http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:650572 and a cute little critter holder: Cute Upsidedown Bottle holder (model 4) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:315639 and probably others I missed
