irrigation dripper

thingiverse

Here's a version one 3D printable dripper for your garden. It's not pressure compensating, so opening the valve on your main line will increase flow at the outlet of the dripper. When connecting the black rubber tube to the inlet, heating it up in hot water is highly recommended. If you don't, trying to put it on can break the PLA from excessive force, and when heated, it cools and contracts around the PLA for a better seal. Build supports should be placed from the build plate only; otherwise, you'll end up with them inside, preventing the dripper's function. The inlet pipe is closest to the flat bottom of the dripper, as shown in the thumbnail.
