Problem:
Billow floats in a camping bag along with bug spray, sunscreen, citronella candles, and more. Not only can these chemicals and dirt contact the mouthpiece, but the billow is at risk of impact damage.
Solution:
Designed and printed (Filament Type: Bambu Lab’s PLA) a high-visibility holding case that rotates about mold-in-place hinges and securely snaps closed using an arched snap. The ribs on the interior of the case firmly hold the billow in place and ensure that rattle is not possible. For the final print, I would change the filament type from PLA to ABS or ASA for their superior impact and heat resistance.
