Milk bottle watering can

thingiverse

Use a plastic milk bottle as a useful watering can for small plants. The original source for this was a TV programme by Jimmy Doherty when he quickly cut down a bottle to show his children. I added a handle and neck-brace. The handle of the milk bottle becomes the spout of the watering 'can'. The printed handle and neck unit fit into a regular UK plastic milk bottle. However, I have noticed some variation in these bottles so take care and time to cut appropriately. I had to experiment with a few before I got the right fit but the bottles are effectively free! The holder/handle is super-glued into the neck of the cut bottle and is best inserted by aligniing the handle side in its place and pulling the front into place from within the bottle. I suggest you only fill the bottle half-way and don't be tempted to tip it forwards too much for obvious reasons.... I have incorporated a small 'dam' into the final design that should help to reduce forward slop but you have been warned!
