Beefy Nalgene Lid Replacement
Print Profile(2)
Description
I can't be the only person to have dropped a Nalgene bottle and broken the lid. Although replacement lids can be purchased online, I thought I'd have a go at 3D printing one with a more interesting shape. The interior of the cap is a close replication of the original Nalgene cap, while the exterior features a ridged design that makes it easy to twist off and adds a custom vibe. The cap makes a great seal onto the bottle! I'd suggest PETG as the most appropriate material but I printed prototypes in PLA that seemed to work great too.
If you have concerns regarding the food-safety of 3D printed components, this research paper may help you decide whether this print is for you. One way to be certain that it is safe is to use a coating of food-safe epoxy resin inside the cap where water will be in contact with the cap.
I also have a selection of Nalgene Handles and Clip Collars available:
