![]() Using the Move tool (Hotkey M) rotate the cylinder about 45 degrees. Create another 6.5 diameter cylinder that is about 25 mm in height. Inside one of the columns make a Cylinder that cutouts out 6.5mm (or slightly bigger than the PTFE you are using) by about 125mm deep.ġ1. On one column, a tunnel will be needed for the PTFE to go through to filter the water up from the basin and into the spout. Use the Mirror function under Create Menu to mirror the column to the opposite side on the basin.Combine the two columns to the basin.ġ0. In the Browser window rename the object to Column Cut and use the eye icon to hide the object.ĩ. Rename this mesh Spout Post in the Browser hierarchy and then use the eye icon in the browser to hide the object for now.Ĩ. Move the 4 and the bottom sides inwards 0.3mm. Rename this object in the Browser as Hole.ħ. Duplicate the column box that was just made. Move the box to one side of the base with the outer side of the ox aligned with the edge of the outside of the basin. Give it the dimensions of 25.40mm x 25.40mm x 174mm. Create a new box from inside the bottom of the basin. Select the first box as the Target Body and then the other two visible boxes as the Tool Bodies. Select the combine tool located under the Modify menu. ![]() Click the eye icon to hide this copy for later use.Ĥ. Duplicate this box and rename it in the Browser to something such as Top. Move the bottom face of the new box upward about 56mm. Move the bottom face of the box up 6mm.ģ. Select a side face of the box and press the M key on the keyboard. Select the entire box and duplicate it (Ctrl +C then Ctrl +P). Using the fillet tool, round the edge to the inside is tapered into the opening for the PTFE.ġ. Select to inner edge of the most recent cutout. I set the diameter to 9mm with a 6mm height with the operation set to cut.Ĩ. At the bottom of the adapter make another cylinder. Using the Fillet tool (located under the Modify menu or shortcut F key), select edges to round out harsh edges. Set the operation method to Cut before hitting OK.ħ. Set the diameter to the outer diameter of the PTFE tube (my case 6mm) and set the height to the the length of the entire adapter.Ħ. This cylinder is the cutout for the PTFE. Select all the current cylinders change the operation to "Join" to make a solid mesh. Under the "Modify" Menu, select the combine tool. The tolerance should be adjusted for your printer and nozzle.ĥ. **The 0.3 is the tolerance based on my printer's capabilities and the print settings I plan to use. I kept the measured height of the original adapter (11.44mm). For 3d printing, I hadded 2.3 millimeters to the size of the outer tube diameter to get the cylinder diameter I needed (8.3). This cylinder is the one that will holder the PTFE tube. On top of the "stopper" cylinder, create a 3rd cylinder. Move current cylinder to top of the insertable cylinder.Ĥ. ![]() The reference adapter piece measures 14.8mm in diameter with a 1mm in height so I used those measurements.ģ. This should be slightly bigger than the opening hole on the water pump for the adapter. I added 0.3mm to the diameter and kept the height of the inserted part the same (6.8 mm).Ģ. For my case, the original adapter seemed to have some shrinkage in the plastic in the part that is inserted into the water pump opening(12.4 mm diameter). Under the "Create" menu, select cylinder. The tubing I chose to use for this project was a 6 mm outer diameter with a 4mm inner diameter.ġ. The PTFE tube was a old piece of tubing for a previous 3d printer I had that no longer was working. The adapter that came with the water pump I order was slightly loose and did not fit the PTFE tube that I had on hand to use. Don't want to design something only to have it not fit. Before beginning, it is best practice to model a mockup of any electronics for size purposes.
