Hose Irrigation Adapter

thingiverse

Cut an old hose in half and insert this adapter so you can move water from an exterior faucet to your garden, then connect standard 4mm irrigation hoses and drippers. I used a wire hose clamper tool to tighten the hose on the print. The included STL is for 5/8in (.625in) garden hose to 4mm irrigation hose. I included the fusion file, which has parameters so you can adjust the inner diameter of your two hoses and it will propagate through the model. I tried to label all the relevant model bodies and sketches so you can easily adjust the file as needed. My printer is pretty bad, so it's a pain to remove the supports, but I print this horizontally with the small spigots up, then just cut/poke away the supports with a knife. If you need adjustments, let me know and I'll consider making them. I considered square cutting out the spigots as new bodies so you could print them separately and glue them in later, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble as my end result is working fine in my garden.
