Drip nozzle Eco-cap

thingiverse

This water bottle cap will accommodate plastic containers with low-profile design features. The usual thread system consists of just one, but this design boasts four distinct threads and an 8-millimeter step that's subdivided evenly into four segments.\nIt easily accommodates drip irrigation tubing inside the nozzle. This setup also provides improved flexibility when handling varying hose diameters.\nI added a perpendicular cross-shaped groove to prevent any loose debris from accumulating inside the cap, ultimately reducing blockage issues down the line. The small spheres of clay used in my hydroponic system fit perfectly within this recessed area.\nMy motivation for creating this 3D model came from browsing the excellent tutorials at 3Dponics.com. Their design bears similarities with mine but lacked the versatility needed to suit a wider variety of water bottle sizes readily available at most grocery stores nearby.
