No Leak Hose Mender

thingiverse

I created another hose mender, but this one also works despite some low-quality HF hose clamps that tend to bend when tightened as far as possible. Check out my previous hose mender here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1476241 This new hose mender is designed for standard garden hoses with 5/8" internal diameters, but you can easily adjust the size using a tool like Cura to fit larger or smaller hoses. The inside hole for water flow measures 8mm in diameter, while the primary pipe diameter is 12mm with large bumps at both ends measuring 14mm. I printed this hose mender at a resolution of 0.3mm and used 100% infill and brim settings. As a result, I can severely tighten down those cheapo HF hose clamps without bending or experiencing any leaks whatsoever.
