Water Bottle with Filter

thingiverse

This design file allows you to print a refillable water bottle with a built-in filter system. The filter is designed with a hole at the bottom, which is sealed by another piece that stabilizes the filter inside and provides extra protection against leaks. A screw-on lid completes the assembly. Please note that some 3D printed filaments may contain bacteria or contaminants that can be released into drinking water, so it's crucial to use food-grade materials and take precautions to ensure a safe printing process. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer Model: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 0.15mm Infill Percentage: 10% Post-Printing Instructions: To make the filter effective, use activated carbon or charcoal packets, available for purchase online in bulk. I combined coffee filters and added activated carbon to create a simple filtration system. Simply shake the bottle to filter water through the carbon layer. Use this bottle to filter tap water that has already been deemed safe for drinking, and rely on the additional filtration provided by the carbon layer for extra peace of mind. Replace the activated carbon packets every 1-2 months to maintain optimal performance.
