Printables link. Apologies for the... very lazy select + background blur. In the land of windows I would have used paint.net, but I'm coming to you from a mac today and haven't found a great alternative.

Prints are porous and will leak eventually. It'll start sweating or dripping eventually.

    This is true, but also not a huge deal for this design. Store it upright and water isn't contacting the print. While in use there's not much prolonged contact, or even contact area, between the water and the print.

    These weren't absolutely leak free, but they didn't leak any more than the injection molded pices for 2L bottles.

    I had one of these years ago, and they usually start to leak after a while regardless. It doesn't provide a good enough seal with disposable bottles, and swinging it back and forth seemed to wear it out over time.

    Eh. I've had good luck with PETG, which won't break down in contact with water. It helps to print three or four walls, and some simple post processing really seals the deal (ha! sorry for the word play).
