Maple Syrup Tree Tap

thingiverse

I decided to help my dad make more maple syrup by designing and printing his own tree taps, but those are pricey! I tried a simple design online, but many of the designs wouldn't print well on my printer. This basic design is easy to use and gets the job done. It has holes in front and back for hanging and a slit on top for pouring. The small knob holds a plastic gallon jug. My dad had success with these tree taps so far, except one broke off in the tree (oops!). If you find this design too thin, try editing it before printing. Good luck with your project!
