Parametric Skimmer for JBL Aquarium Filter

thingiverse

This optimized Skimmer Replacement is specifically designed for common JBL Aquarium Filters, drawing inspiration from the universal hose coupler found on thingiverse.com/thing:44850/. I would like to express my gratitude to the creator of this coupler for their work. I have modified the original design to suit my needs by incorporating the following changes: * The Skimmer Replacement will fit seamlessly onto the base-part, allowing for easy interchanging during cleaning purposes. * Its size has been extended by approximately 80mm. * The water inlet slots have been widened for improved flow. The result is a reduced water speed and, consequently, decreased clouting. This design flexibility is a key advantage as most of the modifications can be customized simply by editing the .scad file. However, please note that the generated objects are not manifold. I recommend using a repair service like netfabb.azurewebsites.net/ to correct any issues or, alternatively, edit and post the corrected .scad file for the benefit of the community. A pre-repaired .stl file is provided to ensure hassle-free printing. Here are my print settings: * Sliced with Slic3r * Perimeters: 2 * Infill: 20% * Layer thickness: 0.25mm * Material: PLA
