Baby Bottle Quick Warmer - Medela

This is a pair of drill-chuck adapters for Medela baby bottle lids: one for the older compact style, and one for the newer 'wavy' style. Spinning the bottle in hot water makes it warm up much faster than just letting it sit, and it also keeps the milk at a more uniform temperature, even in very hot water. It doesn't cause bubbles or froth.
To use it, just clip your cold milk bottle into your 3/8" variable speed drill and spin the bottle in a bowl or cup of hot water at moderate speed, 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off. The goal is to get as much difference as possible between the speed of the milk and the speed of the bottle. If you spin it too long at once, the milk will just spin up to the same speed as the bottle and you'll lose some efficiency.
The models include baked-in supports for the shaft that can be easily removed with flush cutters or a hobby knife. They're optimized for a 0.4mm extrusion width.
For two parts: Print at 0.2 mm layer height, with 100% infill. This uses 11.5 g of filament and takes 47 minutes. The models include baked-in supports for the shaft that can be easily removed with flush cutters or a hobby knife. They're optimized for a 0.4mm extrusion width, if you can control that separately. A center hole is also included for an optional m3 x 30mm long button head screw and nut, for reinforcement. Printing in ABS is recommended, since these will be around hot water that could soften or melt PLA.
