3D-printable faucet-to-hose adapter

youmagine

One of our top choices for 3D printing is rapidly producing something that's hard to find in stores. Recently we had to connect a flexible hose to a standard water faucet in our office. Instead of jumping into the car to drive to several hardware stores, we quickly designed this adapter in Autodesk Fusion 360 - which thankfully has an incredible thread-creation feature! Two hours later the part was 3D-printed using PLA filament and attached to the faucet. There are many different standards for faucets, hose sizes, and pipe threads. This STL file may not fit your faucet but if you have one with a 24 mm diameter and 1 mm thread pitch, please give it a try. As a warning we want to remind everyone that this is an experimental design. Please don't use this adapter if you're not sure what could happen if it fails for any reason. We deliberately chose to use it in a bathroom with a moisture barrier on the walls and floor as well as a floor drain. Enjoy! By http://Creativetools.se
