So I wanted a bag which glows. This lead me down a weird rabbit hole that ended up with 3D printing TPU on top of cloth with a hole cut out of it.

The process was fun and it came close to the original design. Though I would made a lot of changes if I was to make this again.

I also made a TPU foam insert for the strap. Worked well.

Edit: more photos of the bag

    Could you post different photos? I don't know what I'm looking at? I see a phone/tablet with some sketches.

    That's surprisingly cool. How durable is it? How does it feel to the touch?

    How does it feel to touch? It feels good it’s a bag. The plastic makes it feel stiff but yeah it’s nice.

    Is it durable? No clue, feels like it is but I can’t tell until I’ve used it for a while. That said, the plastic nor the stitched edge on the plastic isn’t going to be the weakest link.
