The purpose of this project was to create a portable cup holder for a client intersted in outdoor adventures. It needed to be lightweight and sturdy while being convenient for backpacking. Out of 6 ideas, I settled on a simple design with large spaces for carabiner attachments. Using a heat gun, I shaped the acrylic into my desired shape. Features include:
Made of sturdy and lightweight 1/8″ thick acrylic
No-slip grip with two finger loops
Carabiner loop for easy backpack attachment
One-piece and simple manufacturing
