I designed this sipper after a downloaded model resulted in an in proper seal. Also it was printed with overhang which required support and was less hygienic due to the imperfections on the supported surface.

So I designed this model with the following targets in mind:

  • Bottle must seal water tight
  • Hygienic design = smooth surfaces
  • No overhang = easy to print + nice surfaces
  • Cone shape to compensate for variety in bottle neck dimensions
  • Cone shape to give a good seal in the bottles neck
  • “Nose collision free” design to allow easy drinking
  • Double sided design to allow easy drinking from two sides, e.g. while on a big to reduce fiddling around.
How to use:
  • Put in the bottle neck an press it slightly in. The cone will give a very nice tight fit. Minimal pressure required.
  • To remove grab it by the drinking  holes or ply it out with a tool (e.g. end of a spoon)
Before printing:

I recommend you check your bottle neck dimensions because the dimensions may vary with such a big volume product. If you need a tighter or looser fit you can scale it a few percent in the slicer.

See the photos for the dimensions of my bottle neck.

Print instructions:
  • I recommend using a material that is save for food contact and can withstand the dishwasher.
  • No supports
  • 0,2mm layer for better surface (more hygienic)

I would be happy to see some of your makes posted :)

Note 18.04.2024:

I noticed some shrinkage of the part (petg) after months of usage. I think it is caused by the extensive dishwasher usage. Please be aware of this.
