Gardena Hose Adapter 1inch BSP to 3/4 US Garden Hose Thread

thingiverse

I needed a hose adapter that converts from 1 inch BSP thread to US 3/4 garden hose thread, so I could use my Gardena Water Timer with American hoses. The problem was that the timer's threads were made for German standards and wouldn't fit our standard US thread. Instead of ordering an adapter online and waiting weeks for shipping from Germany, I decided to design and print my own. To get it right, I printed the hose adapter using 0.1mm layer height, 100% infill, with support enabled. I also increased the extrusion percentage by at least 10% to make sure it was watertight. My choice of material was PLA+, which worked well for this project.
