Garden Hose In-Line Connector (GHT)

thingiverse

This is a silly part for most people... its a short male and female GHT connector. I bought an Amazon bulk pack of screened hose washers, and they came without tabs and just fall out. My 5 year old loves to play with sprinklers... Like 4 hoses, impact sprinklers, oscillating sprinklers and misters, switching them around, just having fun. The screens falling out of sprinklers or misters with fine holes meant grass clogs. So I designed this to thread the male end in to hold my screened washers in place, and the female end gets a standard washer which has the tabs, so it stays in place. Like I said, silly, but effective. It's designed to print vertically with no supports needed. The female threaded section spins. The clearances are a bit tight. I printed on a brand new 0.4 mm nozzle and wasn't sure if it would break free... Ultimately prying between the two finger-grip sections with a pocket knife popped it loose just fine. If you have trouble try printing at 95% flow rate.
