Completely reworked version, because I still wasn't satisfied with my first drip set (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4490015)
This set also provides T-splitters to work without a nozzle, but a perforated hose-ring.
EDIT: Or you can use it to serve 2 plants (as in my second example picture).
But you will have to level the outlets correctly to get a fair share of water for both plants without having to use 2 valves.
Also filter tops for the cola bottle, which can be used as help to mount the set.
You can put any filtration material in between the grids or just use them to ensure no insects/dirt might clog the hose or produce mold.
Mount the filter by cutting off the bottom of the bottle as displayed in the example picture and drilling holes into the bottle to screw in the filter.
Or instead of screws, you can use some type of stick/rod to go through 2 holes.
The valve concept is the same as in my original upload, but with optimized objects to ensure more controle and make it more comfortable to use.
My new valve screw has a philips screwdriver recess to allow more force when working with harder hose materials if needed.
Clips to fixate the hose end within the substrate have been optimized with a bipod version to prevent the hose from turning away or moving until it looses contact to the substrate.
The bottle-adapter-cap should now also fit more tightly to better allow sealing with sealing rings instead of glue/silicon.
Happy growing and please share a make if you like my design :)
UPDATES:
28.07.2024 - Added cap for hose with 8mm inner diameter
01.09.2024 - Added caps with 3 legs (similiar to my original design) to place the bottle directly into the soil.
