ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION from Thingiverse:
Summary
Here's my tap for making maple syrup. These suckers get expensive to buy a few bucks at a box store, now we can print them for pennies per piece.
If you have any questions or feedback leave me comment.
If you like my design please tip me a few meters of filament, so I can keep on printing. Thanks you.
Twist Drill Size: 7/16 in or 11 mm
Drill Depth: 1 1/2 in or 40 mm
When to Tap: February to mid March
Min Tree Diameter: Around 18 in or 45 cm
I used 2mm spring steel wire to hole the jug, but any wire will do. Like a coat hanger, e.g. Mine held 18 LBS or 8 KG with no problems.
Remember to fill holes with tar when done, to keep bugs out e.g.

Make sure you're filament at least is RoHS compliant. It would be even better if you have certified food safe filament. And I would not print this in ABS. I used stainless steel nozzle, again food safety.
