Funnel Adapter

prusaprinters

<p>We found that an Arizona Tea jug makes a very good container for storing used cooking oil. However, it takes 3 hands to pour and hold the funnel. Here is a solution.</p><p>This adapter/holder screws onto the jug and has a short tube to insert the funnel.</p><p>I designed this in Fusion 360 (design included). It is customizable by editing parameters.</p><p>My biggest challenge was discovering the thread size to fit the container (in place of the cap). It took some measuring and several test prints to get it correct.</p><p>My first design has the funnel part midway into the screw on part. I've included it, but it requires a lot of support.</p><p>My second design is much easier to print and has threads to fit an Arizona Tea jug (I think other products also use this jug).</p><p>We also use the original Canola Oil bottle, so I designed another with threads to fit.</p><p>You may use any funnel that fits the jug. Here are some things to consider and measure:</p><ul><li>decide and measure how deep you want the funnel to be inside the jug (I think 30-45mm is a good range) - if you don't want the adapter to get dirty, keep it shorter then the funnel, but long enough to adequately hold the funnel upright</li><li>measure the outside diameter of the funnel at the widest/upper end - make sure it is less than the opening of the jug.</li><li>measure the outside diameter of the funnel and the small end (actually where the adapter will end)</li></ul>
