Soap limiter

thingiverse

I think these standard soap dispensers deliver way too much soap per push. Therefore, I designed this collar to clip around the neck of the dispenser bottle. This modification is dependent on the individual bottle type, but after conducting a few experiments with our bottles, I found that you get plenty of soap if you push it just 3-4 mm down, instead of the standard 15 mm travel. Update 20180205: I've uploaded two screenshots of the editing process. How I Designed This The design was very quick and simple. Since the design is limited to bottles similar to ours, here's a step-by-step guide to recreate my design. Our soap bottles have 15 mm pump houses/necks (where this clip fits around), with a travel of 15 mm. The design consists of a "c" shape with an inner diameter of 15 mm (matching the pump neck). I made the outer radius 2 mm larger than the inner, as it matches the size of the hat-like feature on top of our soap bottles. The opening is 2 mm smaller than the diameter to ensure it stays in place and clips easily. I then extruded the "C" shape 11 mm, limiting the travel to just 4 mm.
