Basic Ball Lock Keg Connector

thingiverse

This is a fundamental ball lock connector post designed for homebrew kegerators, specifically intended to facilitate line cleaning. Its use in water-tight or food-safe applications is not recommended. For effective cleaning of beer lines on my kegerator, I employ mine with a basic pond pump and cleansing solution. The part consists of two components that require gluing together. I utilized ABS for the part itself and ABS adhesive to bond them securely. I find the post to be exceptionally snug on my connectors. Modifying the groove for the O-ring to be slightly deeper may enhance its functionality, but mine functions adequately as is. If improvements are made, please share your revised version. The original file is a ViaCad design, and I have also included DXF and STL files for reference.
