Hose connectors 25mm for PP barrel

thingiverse

I replaced my old DIY rain barrel with two new drums, only to find out that they're made of polypropylene which cannot be bonded due to its uncooperative properties. To make matters worse, the connectors I bought for $ didn't have long enough threading to secure it properly through the 3/4 inch nut, causing some concern regarding its stability and safety features. My biggest worry though was that the store-bought hose connectors had a loose fit with the hose, which meant I had to strip them of their material every time I tried to tighten the fitting by twisting it tighter in a never-ending cycle. Therefore, I fabricated my own connectors from a 25.4 mm diameter so the hose would slip in nicely and provide a tight seal when secured using stainless screws, completely solving that problem for good! Here are the printing settings: I printed at a layer height of .3 millimeters on top speed without the cooling fan to give it more durability. The used filament was from Colorfabb.com with an orange translucent tone.
