I've been 3d printing and homebrewing for years, keep it up! I would use PETG for strong prints, I don't bother printing with PLA anymore. PETG needs a higher temp 252c nozzle and 80c bed on my Ender 5 works great for me. I would up infill to 30% - 50%, make sure you use a food grade nozzle for anything touching beer.
Thank you for another exciting video! We've received many feedbacks from brewers and are happy to say that we are working on a new clamp-lock for swing-top bottles. But of course, creating a product that would serve you well would take much time and many quality checks. Stay tuned for a product release and thank you for constantly supporting us! 🍻
Great to hear! I love my swing bottles and the luxurys feeling it gives but as The DR says its a pain to take of the metal cage all the time and im afraid i will wear it out in the end. So a updated clampholder would be GOLD!
The break along the layer lines makes me think it may be best to construct a version of this that can be printed with the layer lines going the other way. I might fire up Fusion 360 tonight and give it a shot.
About the printing. For good adhesion between the layers, you need to test and find the right temperature for your filament. It may not be the same temperature that gives the best look. 20% infill is not ok if you need structurally strong details, maybe 70% or similar may be appropriate. Infill pattern, you should choose a suitable one for the load case you have. The walls should be decently thick. The one in the video broke all too easily. For the material, PETG may be worth a try.
i shaved a few thousands off the metal collar lock to fit the majority of differrent bottles as it did not fit some, i let the manufacturers know the size but dont know if they made any changes, between the plastic one and the widened metal one i can no fill most bottles i come across :)
Does anyone has problems with the head for the PET bottles? In my case the PET bottles does not fit because as they have a bit longer nozzle (the place where the cap is going).

Thanks!
I will definitely try another material and higher amount infill to try to get stuff like this stronger. Cheers

I don't even have the iTap, but these 3d printing videos are great! Cheers!
Thanks mate, cheers!
Right there with ya!
I love your 3D printer ❤️ I want one, I love the Itap ❤️ I want one and I love your channel ❤️ another great episode cheers 👍🍻
Thank you so much Rick, cheers!
Hey Dr Hans! Great video! That was a great idea using the 3D printer.
Thank you

Thank you for your inputs and guidance. I'm new to 3D printing so I'm thankful for tips. Cheers
The models say to use PETG which is much stronger than PLA AND 70% infill and you seem to have used 20%. Not really surprising that they failed.
Thanks mate I'm a total noob at 3D-printing. It's all on me that they cracked.

Awesome 👍

I would not use PLA for this. PETG is a much stronger filament.
also use more infill and print each valve one at a time. a hot air gun is good for stringing
Thanks for the tips
