Toy Spice Bottles (Customizable)

This is a collection of toy spice bottles for children to play with. Now with working cap and real spice shaking action!

Children can’t cook imaginary food without sprinkling a little imaginary spice to enhance the imaginary flavor. So, I’ve designed these bottles to be modular so that you can pick the style that you prefer and print only those parts. This means you will need glue.

The main body is all one color (to save filament) and is hollow so that you can add something inside to make a rattling sound when the bottle is shaken. For mine, I used printer poop broken into various sizes but you could also use small pebbles or anything else that fits. To prevent the shaker contents from spilling out, I designed the body parts to be glued together rather than screw on. This means whatever you place inside the bottle to make the noise is there permanently, so choose wisely.

The middle section is the spice label. I have included 5 labels with raised seals/text, and one blank label that is smooth and round. If you want to add your own text in the slicer, or print a paper label on sticker paper, this blank mid-section will make that very easy.

The bottle tops have 3 variants; Pop top with no supports, Pop top with support, and Screw on top.

• Pop Top 1: This lid connects to a ring that goes around the neck of the bottle and pops on and off with a little pressure. PETG or TPU is ideal for this, but I was able to use PLA+ due to its better ability to flex than regular PLA.
• Pop Top 2: This lid is like Pop Top 1, but connects at the base instead of at the top. This means you’ll need to use supports. On the plus side, the print orientation allows the placement of a small lip to allow easier removal of the lid. I highly recommend PETG or some other flexible filament for this one. PLA+ is working for me so far, but I don’t see it holding up over time.
• Screw on Top: This one, as the name implies, has a lid that screws on and off. If you want to use this one, be sure to print the corresponding threaded shaker portion.

As with all 3d printed toys, please do not let your child play with this unsupervised out of concern for parts breaking and becoming choking hazards.

Enjoy!
