Milk Bag Jug Holder

This will hold your bags of milk!

I got sick of Canadian supply management so I'm sticking it to the dairy producers in the only way I know…buying in bulk! Also, a couple of other posted models were a little too small for me.

This milk bag holder/jug will hold a 1.3333333 litre bag of milk (in Ontario, Canada, we get 4L of milk with 3 x 1.333 litre bags). The bags fit in the model nicely and only the very top is left exposed so you can nip the tip. I find the bags arrive from the store wet but they still slip in without issue. 

I designed it so the arch of the handle could print without supports and I think it turned out well (close-up of this area is in the photos). Your finger takes most of the weight in this spot, so maybe a bit of sandpaper would help if it turns out too rough for you. Otherwise, I printed it stock settings for Creality K1 on Orca with generic PLA at 0.2mm layer height.

It would honour me if this model had a special place in your fridge. Cheers to #20 Ca!

Latest Edit

2024/07/16: The Mk II has arrived!

1. The spout just kept getting into the way of the milk stream; I removed it. 
2. The holes in the bottom did not really make cleaning/drying easier; removed those.
3. I added a small chamfer to the bottom.
4. The walls at 2mm and floor at 4mm seem good and hearty, so that's the new standard.
5. Original STLs have been moved into a folder.

2024/05/27: Upon request, I added another STL without holes in the bottom AND the walls/floor are twice as thick (2mm and 4mm, respectively). Note, I have not printed this version, but I included a section analysis screenshot of the model to verify that nothing terrible happened to the model when I made the changes.

2024/05/17: Upon request, I added an STL without holes in the bottom. This seemed like the way it should have been all along…
