Kids break things, this fix allowed me to keep one more thing out of the landfill. I hope it can do the same for you.

Description

This part is for this particular water bottle that is sold online and in stores in North America:

“Zak Designs Minecraft 18/8 Single Wall Stainless Steel Kids Water Bottle with Flip-up Straw Spout”

No doubt, there is probably non-minecraft versions of this water bottle but my family has this version.  The kids drop these things and small plastic parts get broken.  This is actually the third version I've made and it has reinforcements to make it harder to break.

To install

  1. Use a small screw driver to push out the metal pin.
  2. Test the metal pin through your printed piece to ensure it slides in easily.
  3. Position the plastic parts on the bottle.
  4. Use a pair of small plyers (like the prusa ones) to hold the metal pin and gently slide it back into place.  Don't force it.
  5. Hand it back to the child that broke it and print a backup one for when they eventually break it again.
