Gardena 18mm Hose connector

Correct model =========== Use the "Gardena_18mm_hose_connector-**tweaked-for-leaking**" model for best result. Remake ====== This is a remake of "Gardena 24mm Hose connector" by Etlaare, **BUT** tweaked because his version leaked at the Gardena endpoint and I needed a smaller diameter on the non-Gardena side. Misc ==== - I first just adjusted the diameter of the model by Etlaare from 25mm to 18mm and printed that. After installing it on a Gardena hose it leaked a lot on the Gardena end. I added some extra rubber material under the black rubber band, which helped but still leaked. - After that I tweaked the Gardena end a little bit, mainly the diameter below the black rubber band which was to small + a few other very small adjustments. After reprint it fits perfectly, and no more leaks. Even when attached to a electric pump on pressure and closed off at the other end doesn't leak a single drop, while the first version does leak heavily all arround in the same scenario. - The black rubber bands you can buy seperately in your local garden shop, or salvage from an old Gardena piece.
