Great print, One is enlarged to 200% lid 215% still a little wobbly on the lid reprinting at 220% printed on Ender 3v3 ke: inland transparent rainbow 2 filament, Printed .2mm with spiralized mode Thank you for this print it is fantastic!
Made on Elegoo Centauri Carbon, the Thangs list of printers needs serious update, it has only Neptune printers!
I used Geeetech Transparent PLA, it is nice.
I printed a first bottle in some opaque PLA, but the bottom was going away, so I printed these with 3 bottom layers. But they are still leaking, which isn't important for me.
I made a first version of the bottle caps with 100 % infill, hoping for better transparency, but not much. I tried vase mode too (the other pic), it worked better. First attempt with opaque PLA didn't finished, I thought it was because of vase mode, but no, the base was just too flimsy. Printed them at given size, even with my 0.4 nozzle, they fit perfectly.
I really like these designs.
I had to size up my stoppers to 118.5% to get them to fit snugly inside the top of the bottle, and be water-tight. This took several print iterations, so trust me - I did the work! Not just guessing.. Printed at 0.08 layer height to become water-tight.
Made these in petg with different PLA silk stoppers. Used a .4mm nozzle, so scaled the stoppers up to 110% and they fit perfectly (tight). Thanks for these, they're so great!
I feel stupid for asking because it must be something simple I'm missing. How do you print the so they are hollow like an actual bottle? I've tried twice and both times the print with the top sealed.
Perhaps you missed the essential setting for this model: print in "spiralized" mode. This means the nozzle will make a continuous move around the bottle, meaning there is only one very thin wall. In Orca Slicer and derivatives, it is called "Vase mode", or more exactly, in Others > Special mode, Spiral vase. When you check this option, Orca propose to set related settings, like this "one wall only" and some others.
Alternatively, you can put 0 in the Top shell layers setting.

Have you experimented with changing the size? I wouldn't mind them a bit larger
what wall thickness were you printing at to make the lid's fit that tight?
is there a better way to make water tight. I printed a couple of time and I get small leaks. I'm using a stock K1. (.04mm nozzle)
hola, porque se imprime con una tapa y no sale hueca toda la botella?
