BananArmor: Modular Banana Protector

If you have tried to transport bananas in a bag or backpack subject to rough handling or stuffed with a few too many things, you have probably encountered the annoying phenomenon of *bruised or squished bananas.* Instead of your tasty healthy snack, you find a brown deformed thing with an unsavoury gooey inside when peeled. Commercial solutions are available, often bulky boxes or tubes that only work with the most typical banana shapes. If you have a banana that is larger than usual, or disobeys the universally assumed truth that every banana is curved, it might not fit. Or otherwise, if you have a banana much smaller than the container, it risks rattling around and becoming bruised after all.

Hence this new approach to banana protection: *BananArmor*, a modular system of tube segments of various shapes, that can be mixed and matched to each particular banana shape.

**Printing**

When printed as-is, the segments have an inner diameter of 43 mm. This may be too small for larger
