Bottle Drip Waterer Set
Three soil spikes that screw onto a regular PET bottle with a 28 mm neck (most soft drink and water bottles). Fill the bottle, screw on the spike and push it upside down into the pot or planter: the water slowly drips to the roots. Each spike has a different drip hole (1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 mm), so you choose the speed. Bottle not included. Prints without supports.

About this design
The Bottle Drip Waterer Set turns an empty soft drink or water bottle into a simple drip system. Screw the spike onto the filled bottle, push it upside down into the pot or planter and the water slowly drips to the roots. Handy when you are away for a few days.
- Three spikes, 126 mm long, with a 36 mm hexagonal cap
- Internal thread for the common 28 mm bottle neck
- Drip holes of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mm: choose your drip speed
- Prints without supports, digitally checked for printability
Print tips: print upside down, as supplied, with the cap opening on the bed. Use 0.16 mm layers for a smooth thread and PETG or ASA outdoors. Poke a small hole in the bottom of the bottle for a steadier flow. Bottle not included.
You get three STL files and one 3MF.

Designer's tip
Print upside down as supplied: the cap opening on the bed, the tip pointing up. Use 0.16 mm layers for a smooth thread and PETG or ASA outdoors. If it drips too slowly, widen the hole slightly with a thin drill bit. Poke a small hole in the bottom of the bottle for a steadier flow. The thread fits the common 28 mm bottle neck; older or unusual bottles may turn more stiffly.
Frequently asked questions
Which bottles does it fit?
The common 28 mm neck found on most soft drink and water bottles. Older or unusual bottles may turn more stiffly.
How long does one bottle last?
That depends on the hole, the soil and the plant. Start with the 1.5 mm spike and check after a day how much water is left.
It does not drip, what now?
Poke a small hole in the bottom of the bottle so air can get in. If it still drips too slowly, widen the hole in the tip slightly with a thin drill bit.
