Maple Syrup Tap

thingiverse

Here's my custom design for a maple syrup tap. Buying these at a box store can be pricey, so now we can print them for pennies per piece. If you have any questions or feedback, leave me a comment. *If you like my design, please tip me with some filament, so I can keep on printing. Your support is greatly appreciated.* **Twist Drill Size:** 7/16 in or 11 mm **Drill Depth:** 1 1/2 in or 40 mm **When to Tap:** February to mid March **Min Tree Diameter:** Around 18 in or 45 cm I used 2mm spring steel wire to hold the jug, but any wire will do. Like a coat hanger, for example. Mine held 18 LBS or 8 KG with no problems. *Remember to fill holes with tar when done, to keep bugs out.* **Updates** **Version 1.3** The STL mesh is even higher quality. **Version 1.2** Added more taper to the tap. **Version 1.1** Initial release
