Water Bottle Dish Saucer Refill for Herps

I made this to fill shallow saucers with 10 mm water for my Toads. The current neck fits standard pepsico bottles, with about 10 threads per inch (Pitch 2.54), .95 inch(26.67 mm) small diameter and 1.05 inch (24.13 mm) thread diameter. It is made to stand in a flat bowl, plate, or saucer and fill it with water to about 10 mm high (~2/5 in). This makes it good for small toads (like my American Toads) to soak in without trouble. It could be modified to fill birdbaths and other water dishes. I plan to make a larger version of this for a gallon and 5-gallon jugs.

If your critter is smaller than the opening, 10 mm high 40 mm wide, then use the gated version, or block the opening with a small rock. One of my toads took an unexpected swim up the bottle before I knew to block it.

Use bridge settings AND brim settings

After printing mine, I used a lighter to melt and smooth the outer surface. If you do this too, do it carefully and take proper precautions.

If it doesn't fit your bottle right, before trying to re-print it, try heating up the threads with a candle or hair dryer, then screwing in the bottle.
