Lid-less Water Bottle

thingiverse

Easy Open Steel/Glass Water Bottle (13.25 in tall) Are you tired of constantly unscrewing the lid of your water bottle, only to take a small sip? Do you struggle with drinks that are too cold or too hot - never finding the perfect temperature? Don't you hate that plastic or metallic taste from most water bottles - but don't want a glass one because it might break? If yes, then this water bottle is for you! Featuring a unique and one-of-a-kind seal, similar to a watch band in a circle pattern, the lid interlocks with the body seamlessly, reducing spills while making drinking easy. A double-insulated wall protects your drink at the perfect temperature - even with an indent in the bottom to prevent condensation that might ruin your desk. With a glass-like structure inside, you can see your drink and taste it free from weird chemicals. A layer of metal coats this glass for ultimate protection, and a stylish, timeless design with engraved hexagons. Even small details count, like a hand-hold to carry your bottle, see the contents, and keep it cool! Try this design for yourself. Printing: To 3D print, split into two parts (Lid and Bottom). Stop near the end of the process and switch filament to Ninja Flex for the fillet locking mechanism of the lid. For the glass/clear inside, use a clear filament (Food Grade), split into three parts, and assemble after printing. Features: -One-of-a-kind lid without a screw design for easy opening and closing -Double wall insulation -Indented bottom to prevent condensation and improve strength -"Glass" interior wall to protect water while allowing you to view contents -Stainless Steel exterior layer for improved durability and handling -Unique partial hexagon design on the side -Large side indent to hold the bottle and see through the glass About: Designed using extrusions, fillets, chamfers, and assembly in Solidworks (2019). Note: Hasn't been 3D printed yet; only designed and modeled. First time uploading a project/making one (hopefully it works!). Design Time: 6 hours - probably way less if you're experienced. It just took me a while because I'm still learning Solidworks. Intro to Engineering | Period 6 | East High School
