Watering spout for 2 liter bottle

cults3d

Featured in Make Magazine's Winter 2013 Ultimate Guide to 3D printing! This 3D printed watering spout fits perfectly on a 2L bottle or any other item with screw-on soda bottle threads. The accompanying Autodesk Inventor file is ready for modification, allowing you to customize the design as needed. Thanks to the incredible capabilities of 3D printing, what would otherwise be discarded can now be repurposed into something truly useful. This spout is ideal for seedlings or small plants that require precise watering amounts. Its walls are a robust 1/8" thick, outperforming any off-the-shelf equivalent. Recently uploaded modifications have addressed sealing issues and added threads to the bottle, making it even more reliable. If you encounter any leaks, try removing the rubber gasket from the cap, drilling a hole, and using it as a washer.
