It doesn't work with latest cap design in Europe for most drinks (those "stay attached cap"), like water, cola, etc. Luckily Lidl has an ice tea that still uses the old version caps.
Still not enough Fusion 360 experience to do a remix for the new type of caps, but I think it's a good challenge to myself, I'm going to see if I have time for it.

printed in PETG and PLA. works good so far.
these days with high temp half a liter is gone in 1-3 days and plants stay save for some more.

I wonder if it would make a difference if the bottle could be screwed in airtight. I like to try a version without a thread, just glue the original lid in with a hole in it.

my plants didnt die anymore :) nice design

Seems to work so far. I watered the plant before and stuffed the top of the nozzle with dirt.
I'm going to be away for a week so figers crossed :)

@bweath I know, but this was a little hanging pot and the 2l bottle wouldn't fit :(

I printed quite a few. Worked quite well and I have been using it to water my plants in a small space without having to necessarily move them (to give them a bath, which is how I usually water my plants)
Thank you for the great model. Printed in Bambu Basic PLA Green and SunLu Gray PETG, with the redommended settings. Beefed up my overhand cooling for the soil packer part. (edited)

@MartinDostal_1060119 Hi Martin, Thank you for the review and make post. Could I ask why the model would be a 4 star vs 5? Some feedback would be excellent to help improve the model for the future :)

Thanks,

Ben

I did not think the big tip would work, but it was awesome. Make sure dirt goes inside to the screen.
