I made these for 250ml and 125ml soft (HDPE or PETE) liquid bottles. The ones for e-liquid normally come with a twist-top cap that has a lot of backflow and leaks all over the place. Their tip is also extremely wide and I wanted something thinner.
This fixes both issues and after modeling it in OpenSCAD I made it fully parametric. You can adjust:
- Cap internal diameter (Cd)
- Cap internal height (depth) (Ch)
- Cap wall thickness (Ct)
- Spout major diameter (Sd)
- Spout minor diameter (Sm)
- Spout height (Sh)
- Spout thickness at base (St)
- Spout thickness at top (Sp)
- Height of thread start (Ti)
- Thread turns (Tt)
- Thread pitch (Tp)
- Thread height, the difference between Dmaj and Dmin (Th)
Thread thickness (width of ridge) (Tw)
IMPORTANT: If you are using these for anything that goes inside your body, use food safe filaments and common sense.To-do
I can't get the ends of the threads to end smoothly. If you are an OpenSCAD guru, please have a look at the code. I'd appreciate the opportunity to learn a new trick or two.

Rafts: No
Supports: Yes
Resolution: 0.2mm
Notes:
- Use supports for the center threaded portion, to support the top; but you can increase the support distance in XY so that the plug comes out better.
- For some reason Slic3rPE feels the need to extend the supports all the way inside the spout; if this happens to you just add a support blocker for that portion.
