Screw on 5 gallon American Maid water jug bottle cap
Description
Exact 1:1 recreation of the screw on cap for American Maid brand 5 gallon water bottle jugs sold at Wal-Mart. They seem to get lost easily so why not print out a few extras! The original bottle caps have a thin foam insert in the underside of the cap that acts as a sort of gasket or seal. If you wish to put something like this in your printed caps, you can take a foam plate (like the kind you put food on) and cut out a circle that fits inside the cap, and it works just like the original caps! An finally, if you find this part useful, please feel free to drop me a tip by clicking the Tip Designer button on the left. Any and all tips are appreciated! :-) EDIT: Due to the printing tolerances of some printers, if you find that this cap is slightly too tight on your water jugs, simply enlarge/scale the cap in the X and Y directions by 1% for a better fit. (I.E. in Cura, select the part, hit S on your keyboard for scaling options, disable Uniform Scaling, and set the X and Y to 101%. DO NOT SCALE THE Z AXIS or the threads will have the wrong pitch.
