XXL Animal Water Bowl for AU Threaded Bottles

This week I learned that different continents use slightly different threading on their soft drink bottles so the US sourced water bowls did not fit the AU bottles. Huh.

So here we go.  One XXL auto-refilling water bowl. Has been tested to fit Australian Schwepps 1.1L and Coca-Cola 600ml & 2L bottle threadings.  You will need to remove the safety strip left behind after opening the bottle. Small flush cutters (as often found in 3d printing tool collections) are perfect for this job.

Sized this one to pretty much take the entire 256mm bed on X1's, P1's and big A1's.  Sorry A1 mini owners, I'm working on a maxed out one for you too. I recommend you fill the bowl before adding the bottle - the bowl itself holds ~1.5 litres.

I highly recommend printing in a water resistant plastic.  I did mine in Bambu PETG-HF although acrylonitrile plastics should work quite well too (especially if you vapour smooth them). PLA or nylon are probably not suitable and PC wild overkill.

I found the PETG-HF with a 0.6mm nozzle to be a little underextruded so my profile has a slight bump from stock 0.95 to Orca flow suggested 1.01.  My primary print profile uses slicer and CAD tricks for lots of internal walls and surfaces with limited external (to save on filament). Printed with a 0.6mm nozzle, it uses a lot of filament (~650gm) but has proven water-tight.  Alternative thinner wall profile (sub 500gm plastic) uploaded but NOT tested as well as a 0.4mm nozzle version.
