These emotional-support adult-sippy-cups are common at my house and they travel with their owners everywhere. Inevitably, they get knocked over making a loud and annoying metal clang-clank! SO ... it's the holidays and I finally had free time to do something about it.
Here is my design for a water bottle anti-tip foot. The lobes are to prevent rolling.
Caveat: It does not stop all tipping ... tipping will still happen - but at least this helps to reduce it some.
I printed out of 95 TPU (Overture). I dried the TPU before I printed. I should have tweaked the default retraction settings. I got little pimples all over the larger print trying to randomize the seam and a ton of fine stringing inside. The smaller one has good outer surface, but there was a lot of stringing on the inside at the seam.
TO SCALE THIS for your bottle:
( (Diameter you want) / 76.5 mm ) * 100 = Percent Scale
Example:
If your water bottle is 90 mm diameter:
( 90 mm / 76.5 mm ) * 100 = 117.6 %
If your water bottle is 65 mm diameter:
( 65 mm / 76.5 mm ) * 100 = 85 %
Enter that value to scale the model up or down in your slicer.
If you use TPU, I suggest going a half (or so) millimeter smaller than the full diameter of the bottle to put a little stretch and make sure it's a tight fit and won't slip off.
