Our story
3 KIDS. 1 PRINTER. 0 SPILLED DRINKS.
Born on the Clark Fork River. Built in a Montana garage.
HOW IT STARTED
It started the way most good ideas do — out of frustration. Three kids on a whitewater raft, watching their drinks slide off the tubes and into the river on every rapid. There had to be a better way.
We had access to a 3D printer and a lot of determination. After dozens of prototypes and even more test runs on the Clark Fork, we landed on a design that actually worked: a rock-solid mount that clips onto any NRS frame bar u-bolt and holds a can or bottle through Class IV water without budging.
What started as a fix for our own raft has turned into something we're proud to share with the whole river community. Every holder is still printed right here in Montana, one at a time, to order.

WHY PETG
We print every holder in PETG — a material chosen specifically for life on the water. It handles UV exposure, temperature swings from cold river water to hot Montana sun, and the kind of abuse that comes with whitewater rafting. It's tough, slightly flexible so it won't crack on impact, and completely food-safe.
- UV resistant
- Temperature stable
- Impact flexible
- Food safe
THE NRS U-BOLT MOUNT
Our holders are designed around the NRS frame bar u-bolt — the standard attachment point on virtually every whitewater raft frame in use today. No drilling, no straps, no zip ties. Slide it on, tighten the bolt, and your drink is locked in.
- No drilling required
- Fits standard NRS u-bolts
- Tool-free install
- Secure in Class IV water
