Garden Hose Thread Adapter — US (GHT) to UK (BSP)

thingiverse

Outside the USA and its territories, different garden hose fittings are used in many places. In contrast, the US relies on a GHT thread with 11.5 threads per inch. In comparison, countries like the UK and some colonial outposts prefer to use BSP 3/4" standards that boast 14 threads per inch, which can be viewed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_hose. For those outside the realm of US female garden hose accessories, this adapter solves compatibility issues between American components such as super-cheap imported garden hoses and odd parts on Thingiverse, which happen to use the US standard. To clarify, parts that work on a male connection will have difficulty being connected to their American counterparts unless a special tool or hardware modification is used. With its unique ability to function both ways (to adapt a female-female as well), it's possible to convert American GHT threaded garden hose items from various makers and retailers who might only be able to supply parts designed for US standard thread connections. Print Settings The user can make a print using rafting methods which have been turned off. A more optimal choice would include creating internal or external supports within the design so it may provide support throughout printing when needed without extra time consuming work that might slow the printing process further, or wasting material. If you were to take things a step further in creating perfect models for such a use case where they're all aligned as required this can significantly speed up print completion due to elimination of post-print steps after completion that involve removing supports. In comparison to printing flat objects with low overhang which often have high support removal effort involved due mostly because when layers stack on each other creating additional volume underneath part being removed.
