Baby Sprout Cap for Water Bottle (POC)

youmagine

This is an initial prototype that requires further refinement. A specially designed nursery sprout for infants can be easily attached to PET water or soda bottles using a screw-on mechanism. The sprout's ergonomic shape was inspired by a widely available baby bottle model. I found the source code for the screw cap on Thingiverse (pco28cap_o.stl), but unfortunately, it has since been removed. Printing Notes: During my print job, I encountered an issue with the slicing path created by Cura, which resulted in excess material accumulating at the top of the sprout. To resolve this, I had to manually drill out the hole afterwards. To prevent leakage, it is essential to increase the wall thickness beyond default settings since the infill alone does not provide a waterproof seal.
