CUTTING THE SHAPES
Download the illustrator file of the website. If
you have access to a laser cutter, you can send
this illustrator file to the cutter which will cut the
desired form. The bounding box measurements
of the file are 418x307mm.
If you don’t have access to a lasercutter,
download the pdf-file. Draw or stick the pattern
on to the material and use a figure saw or a jig
saw to manually cut out the shapes. Another
option is to order your design through a internet
service called Ponoko USA
(http//www.ponoko.com). This will cost you €
30 and you need the svg-file.

NUMBERING THE PIECES
Next it’s best to write down the numbers, found
on the second pdf-file, on to the different
shapes. This way it will be easier to determine
the sequence when you start putting the pieces
together
TIP: It’s best to leave the plastic foil on both
sides of the polypropylene plate until the end of
the process. That way you can write on this foil
and you will get the cleanest result.

7. 3 BOTTLEHOLDER2011
CLEANING THE PIECES To get
a nice-looking finished result, you can smoothen
the shapes by polishing or sanding them with a
very fine grain.
Do not use coarse or harsh materials to sand the
shapes, for this will create scratches into the
material!
TIP: polishing with a machine will go faster, but
be careful that you don’t remove to much
material.

MAKING OF CURVATURE
MOLD Take a piece of wood (thickness ±2
cm) (preferably left-over piece, because you only
need a piece of 300x150mm) and stick the
pattern (pdf-file: addendum 3) onto it.
To create the two smaller holes, use a drill with a
diameter of 25 mm. TIP: It’s best to drill a
smaller hole first. For the larger hole, use a core
drill with a diameter of 90 mm.
Now place the 3 pipes in their correct position.

10 minuten
Gleu, Drill, core drill (Ø 90), wood drill (Ø 25)
Pipes (1 x Ø 90 en 2 x Ø 25), a piece of wood
board
No parts have been added to the final product
This action costs 4 euro for the pipes + 11 euro
for the wooden plate.

9. 5 BOTTLEHOLDER2011
MAKING OF THE RIB-
MOLD Take a (preferably left-over) piece of
wood ( thickness ± 2cm) and stick the pattern
(pdf-file: addendum 4) onto this piece.
Use a jig saw to cut out the shapes.
TIP: There is a top-side of this mold! Be sure to
remember this side (write it on the mold or so).

CURVATURES AT THE
BOTTOM Equally heat the lower part of
the model with a heat blower. (± 1 minute). Be
careful not to heat the material to much or it will
pull astray.
Now bend the shape around the mold, as
demonstrated in the picture. The material has to
be pulled very tight around the mold. Be sure
that there are no gaps between the mold and
the material and that the material rests on the
wooden board.
Place a board (thickness 1 cm) between the
handles and hold everything very tight for a
minute
There is no technical plan of this part.

This action costs 0 euro.

11. 7 BOTTLEHOLDER2011
TOP CURVATURES Take one of
the two Ø 25 pipes out of the curvature mold. In
turns, heat both narrow ends of the model over
a distance of about 1 cm. Then bend these ends
around the pipe.
There is no technical plan of this part.
5 minutes
Heat blower, pipe Ø 25

This action costs 0 euro.

12. 8 BOTTLEHOLDER2011
TOP CURVATURES Using a
TEMPORARLY piece of string, tie the two legs
together. Now heat the rest of the top, bend the
two ‘legs’ around the diameter en hold it in
place with a clamp.
Again, pull the material tight around the pipe
and make sure there is no room between the
material and the mold. Also make sure the
curvature is straight.
BE CAREFUL: Don’t heat FOR TOO LONG: This is a
very thin piece that can break off very easy.
There is no technical plan of this part.

13. 9 BOTTLEHOLDER2011
TOP CURVATURES Once both
ends are fully curved, slide the heat shrink over
the narrow curved ‘legs’ and tie them together
using a piece of nylon wire.
There is no technical plan of this part.
5 minutes
Nylon Wire, Heat shrink (Ø 6 mm)
Nylon Wire, Heat shrink (Ø 6 mm)
Two parts have been added: the nylon wire and
heat shrink
This action costs 2 euro.

14. 10 BOTTLEHOLDER2011
FINISHING THE TOP
CURVATURE Slide the heat sink back
so that it is equal divided over both legs. Heat
the heat shrink for about 2 to 3 seconds with a
lighter or the heat blower. You will see that it
shrinks around the neck. Let the model dry for a
while.
BE CAREFUL: Don’t heat FOR TOO LONG: This is a
very thin piece that can break off very easy.
DON’T touch as long as it’s not cooled down,
because this part is still flexible, and you could
possibly destroy the curves, created earlier on.

15. 11 BOTTLEHOLDER2011
CURVATURES OF THE RIBS
Heat the rib with a heat blower.
Place the rib onto the mold and hold this
position for about a minute. Once the material
has cooled down, it takes over the shape of the
mold. Repeat this with the other rib.
Check before you start if you are using the
correct side of the mold and the correct sides of
the rib you want to curve.

16. 12 BOTTLEHOLDER2011
SUPPORT CURVATURE Heat
the right part of the small piece (number 10)
with the heat blower as described in previous
steps.
Bend only this part of the piece around the Ø 25
pipe hold this position for a while. Once cooled
down, heat the other (not bended) part of piece
10. Assemble it TEMPORARLY to make sure that
it touches the ground while assembled (as
shown in the picture). Once the material has
cooled down, it will keep this curvy shape and
the product is able to stand on its own.
There is no technical plan of this part.

ASSEMBLY Once you have finished all
previous steps, you can start putting al the
pieces together. You can see which part goes
where in the exploded-view-picture. We advise
you to respect the numbering , so that every
piece is properly assembled.
Use hard PVC-glue to attach al pieces together.
TIP: If you work with used polypropylene, it is
useful to put al parts in bleach before you
assembly them. This will result in whiter and
cleaner parts and no more stains, caused by the
manufacturing (laser cutting).
