To be honest, I've secretly wanted this print change since day one. My regular 6ml bottles sits crooked and its bothered my OCD AutoCAD mind
We've got some great modders that hang out here in REOville too, turbocad, pdib, Mr. Mundy, Darkzero... etc etc Or I guess just a lot of tinkerers that have nothing left to tinker with
Does anybody know the type of material the current juice bottle is made out of? Is it MDPE?
If we were to get some awesome new square bottles, Rob should take the filet (curved corner) off of the bottom left corner and make it a right angle so the bottle could sit flat.
Nooo...that's how you justify the purchase of a kickin' Dremal kit (or a $2000 CNC mill)

I wish! At my former job I had access to a mill, drill press, laser cnc cutter/engraver, and a metal cnc machine and I loved it. Now I don't have access to any of that
it sucks when you know what needs to be done, you know how to do it, and how easy it is with the right hardware/software but you can't do it...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I just ordered my first Reo Friday, seems I have come at a good time. Can't wait for the SL/LP 2.1 with square 4.5ml bottle.
Damn it Rob.
Will you stop being such a cool dude for one damn day so I can take a break from singing the praises of Reos all over the rest of ECF?
Will you???
Enough is enough!

I'm pretty sure the colored bottles would have juice compatibility issues. I hope I am wrong.
I just clued in H stands for HIGH so I dunno if they'd be flexible enough
So I've been doing some interwebbing on bottle manufacturers...
First I started with the bottle we all use, the ubiquitous 6ml LDPE to find out what the top thread size/trade size used. Apparently the 6ml bottle has a 13-425 thread (ok, sure). I found a handful of US companies that offer custom proprietary molding...it looks like having this bottle made is quite do'able.

...just to list a few. There will no doubt be a significant min. order to make the mold creation economically viable so I wonder...
It may be worth running a survey of peeps in Reoville that would actually want 1 or 2 (or in my case 10-20, I can't even imagine the modding uses of these bottles)...just thinking out loud here.
I'm going to contact these firms with the spec's of w. 18mm x d. 18mm x h. 38mm body height (50mm total height)
Here's the math...say the internal mm's are 17x17x36 (top and bottom seem thicker), that equals 10,404 cubic mm's, x that by .001 to convert to ml's, that's 10.4 ml capacity. That 173% increase (not bad) it'll fit in pretty nice, and it should be easier to squonk.
Thoughts?

Or maybe put Rob in contact with a boutique juice manufacturer who maybe would like a different looking bottle like this? They can scratch each others back and go in on any MOQ.
I dunno. Rob likes to run in house and solo. He doesn't like to rely on others. I bet he's now trying to figure out how to spin gold springs and pop out gold firing pins on his own
Exactly, the possible economies of scale on a venture like this are endless...or take a deep bite, go for a proprietary design, apply for a patent and corner the bf squonk bottle market and take over the world...(say while nibbling pinky finger)
Love this idea! The same height only 15mm x 15mm would give about 7 ml in a Mini (if my calcs are correct). Be nice to get a Mini Quigs squareback too (as suggested by Chowderhead).
Is there a reason you don't want to go taller than 38mm body height for the Grand?
Maybe the corners on the bottom of proposed new bottle can be made with a radius to fit the curve in the Grand and the Woodvil?
I'm in for 15, but first somebody needs to test a square bottle to make sure it squonks ok and doesn't split easy.
