Modification for the Bioquip InsectaVac Aspriator

thingiverse

This is a two part modification to a Bioquip InsectaVac Aspirator. This is a popular item for use in insectaries. The purpose is to allow one to control the suction by twisting the tube rather than simply turning it on and off. While the arrangement in the 'open' position half blocks the tube, that has no practical effect of reducing the suction. This gives one finer control and hopefully greater convenience. The printing is simple and the parts are glued into the barrel of the aspirator. You need to be a bit handy to install it, but most makers are! You can see a video of how to install it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRzyX5q8g44&t=4s Yes, I know. The production values of the video are pretty amateurish but it will tell you how to install the parts.
