Firehose Antique (Ye Olde)

prusaprinters

<p>UPDATE: Finally done. Uploaded finished project photo</p> <p>I included a second Base Option (Stand Base 3.stl) - Round instead of rectangular. I think it looks and prints better than the rectangular one.</p> <p>I am in the process of printing this out so, for now, I am posting without a finished print. I'll add the painted and finished images as soon as I am done.</p> <p>This project was inspired by a colleague I work with whose was a firefighter early in her career and now is one of the most fearsome and learned fire code and life saftey inspectors I know. I sleep better knowing she is on the job. To thank her for all she's taught me, I am making her a display model of a firehose.</p> <p>The version I am making for her includes a relief of a logo on the top of the Valve Housing. The version I am posting is smooth, so you can mix your own.</p> <p>The valve and handle work though I would not recommend you running water through it at 200psi.</p> <p>I also included a simple display stand with base.</p> <p>I just wanted to thank you for your feedback, comments and support. I hope you enjoy this project. Let me know what you think.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>I3 MK3S</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.3 and finer</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>10-20%</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> N/A PLA N/A <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>I printed all parts as loaded in 0.30 except for Valve Assy 1 &amp; 2 (which I did in 0.15) - just wanted to get a little more fidelity vertical resolution on those parts. </p> I recommend supports for Valve Housing 1 &amp; 2 (but not more that 25 on threshold.
