Customizable Aquarium Hose Filter

thingiverse

This is a versatile filter that can be connected directly to a hose or intake pipe, allowing for effortless water changes while keeping fish or plants safely out of harm's way. The device was designed specifically to prevent aquatic life from being sucked in during the process. The tiny holes in the filter section measure approximately 3mm x 3mm, providing just the right amount of filtration without restricting water flow. The OpenSCAD design utilizes the innovative Arc module created by T3P3 and released under the permissive GPLv3 license: http://www.youmagine.com/designs/4765 Print Settings Printer Brand: FlashForge Printer: FlashForge Creator Pro Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15% Notes: To achieve successful bridging while printing the upper conical part, I recommend using a slower print speed and slightly lower extruder temperature. For added safety, consider using food-grade or food-safe filament. Clear or natural PLA or PET/PETG are recommended over ABS.
