NanoCube Flow Diverter

thingiverse

For my older NanoCube aquarium without a flow diverter, fish often get blown around and have trouble feeding; however, a high flow is necessary to combat algae growth and improve filtration. The flow diverter I printed is designed for a filter head of 0.78" diameter but is made at 0.8" to account for printing errors. Printing time was approximately 2 hours. The large hole fits onto the filter output, while the smaller holes redirect flow. Two holes are not fully drilled through, allowing adjustable pressure and flow in the downward ports. These can be further drilled if desired. My print parameters were a layer height of 0.25 and 2 layers for perimeter with reduced infill to prevent bubbling and snagging during printing.
