Inlet Screen, 1in pipe

thingiverse

This is a straightforward inlet screen that securely covers 1" PVC pipes. Manufactured in PETG, it has yet to be tested for flow rate, but its design makes it suitable for installation into the overflow of a reef-ready tank to prevent snails from entering drain pipes. A small amount of silicone may be necessary to secure the screen to the pipe, as my initial print was slightly too tight and broke when I tried twisting it on. To address this issue, I increased the material thickness and made the fit marginally looser for improved performance.
