Fixed Bottle2Bottle_coupler and made it more printer friendly.

Because dropping $8.99 on a new canister for your recently purchased second-hand sprayer is not your style! Print this coupler and stick-it to the man. All it takes: two $1.99 water bottles and $1.00 plumber's tape.
Works great.
Tapered threads.
Tested on a Campbell Hausfeld sprayer, but noticed identical canisters on Husky sprayers. Sprayer thread size is 5/8 Fine American Standard size (or M16 with a 1.5mm pitch).
Instructions:
Step 1.
Find 2 water bottles with a 27mm thread diameter. Think: Aquafina, Dasani, DejaBlue, 20fl oz Mountain Dew. Heck, even a 2L Pepsi bottle will do.
Step 2.
Cut entire bottom of one bottle to make funnel. After making funnel, use Bottle2Bottle_coupler to tighten funnel onto second water bottle. Then, pour paint onto second water bottle.
Step 3.
Remove Bottle2Bottle_coupler from water bottles and tighten Bottle_Paint_Gun_coupler to bottle containing paint.
Step 4.
Tighten bottle with the Bottle_Paint_Gun_coupler onto paint gun.
Step 5.
Use knife and slash a breather hole onto top of water bottle before spraying.
