Portable Hand Sanitizer

COVID has really hit the world hard. We all remember how COVID has impacted our lives, and one way is keeping our hands clean. We always go to places, we always eat, and we always have our hands dirty. Even if we have hand sanitizers. Those can be hard to carry around. That's why I designed a cool gadget that attaches to your backpack! Long gone are the days where you have to sort through your things and find hands sanitizer. Now all you have to do is look back at your bag. Spray yourself, and continue doing what you are doing.

1x bottle of exgerms(100% mandatory. It will not work with any other antibacterial bottle) You can get it here

1x 3D printer(necessary to complete the project)

1-2x filaments of your choice(having two different colors is optional but you require at least one)

1x Blender Program(download here)

STL files(get files that are listed above)

for this first step you will have to warn you that this requires a 3D printer. If you do not have the luxury of such a machine you can always look around your local area to see if you have shops that can 3D print for you. With that out of the way let's get started. You will need to open the file we linked below in supplies to be able to get access to the 3D model. This model is stored inside an STL file. Which is a special type of file that allows you to upload it to a USB stick and later into your 3D printer. For now scroll to the supplies list and download the files.

Now that we got our hands on that STL files it's time to open it. This can be done if things need to be edited or changed. To open an STL file I would recommend getting Blender. It is the easiest and fastest way to be able to access the file and it will be linked below in case you are interested.

Now that we have that STL files we can upload it to the 3D printer. To do so you must have a USB drive that can have an adaptor for the memory card. With this special adaptor insert your memory card inside and then connect it to either your PC or Mac. Drag the STL files into your folder and you are good to go!

here's a tutorial from a much more qualified person on how to do it:here

For step #4 you will take your memory card from the USB adaptor and plug it into your 3D printer. All 3D printers work differently but the basics are to select it and then print it. Since we are using multiple STL files I recommend printing the keychain accessory first and then printing the container. It is much easier that way. If you need help on this step watch the video linked above in step #3

Now, once the print has been completed for both prints you should be able to put it together. Simply take your hands sanitizer bottle and put it small side up, large side down. Once you have done that, align the bottom part and top part to the L shaped arrow and then push the bottom part up and twist to the left.
