Notes:

Works well in PLA or ABS.

Post-Printing

Use a standard 2L bottle, cut an opening and small notch to reach around the stem.
Use the snap clip from another pool tool or Pool Pole Clip by thetazzbot.
Slip around the fruit and pull.
Set a bucket next to the tree and you can just drop the fruit into that and keep picking.

How I Designed This

I used the thread specification drawing for PCO-1881-0 threads which appears to be what a lot of bottles in my area use. All the thread specs are available here: International Society of Beverage Technologists
