Hose Mender

thingiverse

This hose fixer will repair standard garden hoses with a 5/8-inch ID. If needed larger or smaller, just use a tool like Cura and resize the entire object proportionately. Use some 5/8-inch or slightly larger hose clamps. 6/30/2016 Update: The object has been updated to have a 10mm hole instead of an 11mm one and also made 4mm longer. This is a little more heavy-duty and takes stronger hose clamps. Time lapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGrO46zaysE Print Settings: Rafts: No rafts are needed. Supports: No supports are required. Resolution: The resolution is set at .2 millimeters. Infill: The infill percentage is 80% or higher. Notes: I used a 1.2mm shell, 80% fill, and a .2 mm layer height with PLA material.
