3/4" NPT to Garden Hose Adapter

thingiverse

I scoured Thingiverse and other resources to find a 3/4" to garden hose adapter, but it didn't exist. I discovered STEP files for a 3/4" NPT coupling and male garden hose fitting, then created a printable transition between them to create this design. This solution allows me to redirect water from my evaporative air conditioner's pump-out to one of our trees. It saved me the hassle of driving to town to buy an adapter at the local home center. DISCLAIMER: Don't use this in critical situations or where failure could lead to unacceptable flooding. Instead, go to your local home center and purchase a purpose-designed adapter for those high-stakes applications. Update April 17: I found that 40% infill wasn't watertight; print with at least 60% infill for a reliable seal. The one I'm printing now has an impressive 90% infill.
