Milk bottle watering can

thingiverse

Use a plastic milk bottle as a handy watering can for small plants. TV personality Jimmy Doherty first came up with this idea when he quickly cut down a bottle for his kids. I took it a step further by adding a handle and neck support. The handle of the milk bottle becomes the spout of the watering 'can'. The printed handle and neck unit slide neatly into a standard UK plastic milk bottle. However, I've noticed some variation in these bottles, so take your time to cut carefully. It took me a few attempts to get it right, but the bottles are essentially free! The holder/handle is super-glued into the neck of the cut bottle and works best when inserted by aligning the handle side first and pulling it into place from inside the bottle. Fill the bottle half-way only and avoid tipping it forward too much for obvious reasons.... I've added a small 'dam' to the final design that should help reduce forward slop, but you've been warned!
