Aquaponic Bell Siphon with bulkhead

thingiverse

This is a compact bell siphon designed specifically for use in aquaponics gardens, boasting an impressive reliability when it comes to creating and breaking the siphon cycle without any moving parts whatsoever. If you find yourself requiring a taller setup, simply stretch out the bell and stand pipe to suit your needs - a straightforward process that ensures customization is effortless. I've put this very bell siphon to use in my own aquaponics system, and it's been performing admirably so far. The threaded bulkhead is an integral part of the design, and for securing it firmly into place, I apply just a bit of silicone sealant before hand-tightening the screw. Print Settings: For the bell and standpipe components, I opted to print them at a resolution of .3 mm with 4 perimeter layers to ensure maximum structural integrity. The two threaded pieces required a slightly finer touch - printing them at .1 mm adds an extra layer of smoothness when it comes to screwing the threads into place.
