Customizable replacement caps for SodaStream glass carafes

Customizable Replacement Caps for SodaStream Glass Carafes

The caps feature three distinct print profiles:

• monochromatic (AMS not required)
• with the water droplet motif (AMS required)
• adaptable ("Make My Sign", video forthcoming…)
• without a sealing ring (naturally not watertight ;-) )

I fabricate these caps using **PETG**, a material that endures machine washing and is more health-conscious than ABS

For sealing purposes, I employ these silicone seals (38x2 mm), which are incorporated into the caps during printing. **A requisite pause is pre-programmed within the print profiles**

**Guidance for Personalization…**

… within MakeMySign:

1. Preferably utilize a circular Base Plate with a diameter of **40 mm**

    

   

    

2. Upon completion of your design, it is imperative to enable the Facedown-Mode beneath the **Thickness** setting

    

   

    

3. When performing the **Download**, maintain the default configurations and download the 3MF file

    

   

… within Bambu Studio:

1. Within the customizable print template, the **cap** and the **design** must initially be disjoined
   This is accomplished by right-clicking the cap and selecting Split→ To Objects

    

   

    

2. Subsequently, disengage the selection (by simply clicking adjacent to the cap); you should then be able to temporarily relocate it to the side

    

   

    

3. The pre-existing design (the diminutive robot) must now be expunged
   This is optimally performed by selecting all components within the Object Explorer on the left panel (click the initial component, then the final component while depressing the Shift key) and subsequently pressing the **Delete key**. However, ensure that the cap (*Customizable_bottle_cap*) persists

    

   

    

4. Thereafter, import your bespoke design

    

   

    

5. It is now imperative to assign the filaments (colors) to their respective objects
   To accomplish this, it is optimal to initially invert the design, a process most expediently performed using the Lay on Face [F] function
   Progress is efficiently made by first consolidating the unwanted colors with the desired ones. For this purpose, select the pertinent commands within the Filament List, accessible via the three-dot menu . Should further refinements be requisite, they are best executed through the Object Explorer

    

   

    

6. Upon accurate assignment of the filaments, the two components (cap and design) must be reassembled
   The design must once again be inverted; the Lay on Face [F] function may be employed for this purpose. The cap and design should now be repositioned to the center of the printing plate (right-click and select Center)
   It is now advisable to select both components within the Object Explorer (maintain depression of the Ctrl key) and subsequently right-click the cap to choose Merge
