Modern Milk Bag Pitcher / Milk Bag Holder / Milk Jug

thingiverse

I really hate the bland and boring designs of the usual injection molded milk bag pitchers as they are all usually ugly and generic. I wanted something a little more modern and fun, and to my surprise there wasn't really anything on Thingiverse that I liked. I figured this would be a fun and simple design exercise, and this is the end result! I also ensured that the pitcher extended high enough at the front to prevent the dreaded "bag sag" when the milk bag folds over itself during pouring and douses the entire counter with milk. That doesn't happen with this jug! Hopefully people like this, or find a use for it. I should probably note here that this is NOT intended as a pitcher to put milk into directly. It's only intended to be used with bagged milk that is common in Canada and a few other countries. 3D printing and contact with food products is discouraged as the rough textured surface will harbor bacteria and be impossible to clean. This is not an issue if milk bags are used. I printed mine in a combination of Polymaker Polymax PLA in Teal (for the accent ring) and then PolyTerra PLA in cotton white for the remainder of the jug. The highlight ring is totally optional and is achieved by pausing my Prusa Mk3 mid-print and changing filaments. Note that this was printed entirely without supports, and should be printed upside-down for best results as shown in the attached 3MF file. Enjoy! Owen
