TPU Fish Pouch V2
Carrying things around in a plain bag or case is boring and lacks style. Introducing the Fish Pouch, a small container made out of 90A TPU that looks like a fish. Simply squeeze the top and bottom of the mouth to open it and put items inside. A lid, which should be printed out of PLA or other stiff filament, is also included which slides snuggly over the opening of the pouch and helps prevent any items from falling out. The arrows inside the lid indicate which end of the lid should be oriented upwards in order to fit on the fish properly. The lid also looks like fish lips which adds some character to the design.
A 3mf file is also available in the files tab. It is a project file for Bambu Studio and already has all the slicer settings that I used ready to go. It does not include the lid, only the fish pouch. The extra rectangular block is there to give each layer of the print more time to set. It is not an important component for the final product, it is just there to help improve the quality of the print.
This idea was inspired by the Squeeze Coin Pouches/Purses that were popular a few decades back. Except instead of just carrying coins, this design can also carry dice, small materials, toys, wrapped candy, and so much more!
