Sack Pump Nozzle
Description
My Original [Exped Sleeping Mat](Http://Www.Exped.Com/New-Zealand/En/Product-Category/Mats/Downmat-7-M) Had An Awesome Feature - Its Bag Could Be Used To Inflate The Mat In Seconds By Attaching It To The Mat'S Air Intake And Using It As A Pump (See Below For A More Detailed Explanation). Unfortunately, That Mat Died - And Its Successor Replaced The Clever And Light-Weight Bag/Pump Mechanism With A Bulky And Tediously Slow 'Built-In Pump' System. This Thing Attempts To Resurrect The Original Mechanism By Augmenting Any Large Plastic Bag + The Top-End Of A Wide-Mouth Plastic Bottle With A 3D-Printed Nozzle Adapter. The Result Can Inflate My Sleeping Mat In At Most Two 'Puffs'. My Next Make Will Be Tailored To My New Inflatable Kayak, Meaning I Can Leave Its Pump At Home Too. Use Customizer To Tweak The Parameters Of Your Nozzle. Cut/Drill A Hole In The Bottle Cap To Fit Over Your Nozzle (To Lock It Into The Bottle Top-End). Use Double-Sided Tape + Regular Tape To Secure Your Nozzle+Bottle-Top-End Into The Corner Of A Large Plastic Bag - Use Lots Of Tape, As It Needs To Be Strong And Air-Tight! It Is Worth Noting That Exped Also Appears To Have [Resurrected This Idea (As A Separate Product)](Http://Www.Exped.Com/New-Zealand/En/Blog/Multi-Functional-%E2%80%93-Exped-Schnozzel-Pumpbag-1) - Take A Look At Their Page If My Explanation Above Doesn'T Make Sense (It'S A Bit Hard To Describe).
