Nebuliser Connector

Sunil serves as a Biomedical Engineer at Grande International Hospital in Kathmandu. A piece of equipment he frequently encounters in the engineering department is the nebuliser compressor. This device works by utilizing compressed air to convert liquid medication into an aerosol that can be breathed in by the patient. However, the plastic connector attaching the medication tube to the compressor keeps breaking [http://www.fieldready.org/nebuliser]. To resolve this issue, a new hole is drilled through the nebuliser's exterior using a 12 mm drill bit, allowing my connector to slide into the hole and be secured with a 3D-printed wing nut. The connector was designed using FreeCAD from dimensions provided by the link mentioned earlier. I utilized the threaded portion of an M12-1.75 bolt acquired from McMaster.com. The nut STL file is also from McMaster, but it has been scaled horizontally by 1.08 to ensure smooth thread mating.
