Background

@toydolly presents an easy to make bubble bottle that you just can't buy in shops. Make your own or recruit one of your fellow HexDrones to help.

We really don't want to make and sell them. So why not build your own? Please do tag and show us if you build one. If you make any improvements we'd love to see them too, drop an issue or PR here.

Safety

This bubbler bottle is designed for your own personal use in a situation where you have the ability to disconnect your mask. It is not designed to restrict or block any ability to breathe. If you plan to use them at an event please check with an event organiser first.

Build your own

Printing and assembling the bottle

Parts list:

• The STL files for the cap and spigot
• A RYACO 800ml wide mouth bottle
• The seal from the lid of the RYACO bottle
• A short length of 6mm tubing
• Some superglue or similar adhesive

Construction

Step 1

• Slice the STL files to suit your 3D printer
• We sliced in Cura at a 0.2mm layer height with supports and 20% infill

Step 2

• Print your parts
• We printed in both PLA and PETG. PLA is a little better

Step 3

• Remove support materials. Make sure you really get in at the channel for the seal
• Check that the cap fits the bottle properly before proceeding

Step 4

• On the underside of the cap, superglue the spigot into the hole and leave to set

Step 5

• Sand, paint or finish to your own taste
• You can remove the RYACO logo on the bottle with a sharp blade by carefully scraping the letters off.

Step 6

• Remove the seal from the RYACO bottle lid and insert it into the channel on the cap's underside

Step 7

• Add some water, connect a hose and BUBBLES shall be yours
