🖨️ Recommended Print Settings
- Material: PETG is highly recommended due to its excellent layer adhesion and water resistance. PLA will also work perfectly fine for indoor use, but avoid leaving it in direct, hot sunlight.
- Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.2mm. A slightly lower layer height helps the internal screw threads print cleanly and ensures a watertight seal.
- Perimeters (Walls): Use at least 3 to 4 perimeters to guarantee the walls are watertight and can handle the water pressure when you squeeze the bottle.
- Infill: 15-20% is sufficient, as the model relies mostly on its solid walls.
- Orientation & Supports: Print the cap face-down (with the flat side containing the holes resting directly on the build plate). No supports are required!
