Rain Barrel Plug (BSP 3/4" screw thread)

thingiverse

I designed this adapter to attach a standard faucet to my wooden rain barrel. It connects with a screw thread featuring standard dimensions (at least in the Netherlands) of BSP 3/4" (=27mm outer diameter). The adapter tapers from 39 to 36mm, making it easy to firmly push or hammer into place. I included the SCAD file so users can easily modify the adapter's diameters. The screw thread can also be changed, but caution is advised when doing so. No supports are required for printing. I printed this model using only 10% infill and was pleased with the result – a solid and waterproof connection. I added the Gardena connector to attach a hose to the barrel. It fits perfectly in my tap, although it seems tailor-made for that purpose. I included the SCAD file as well, allowing users to create their own custom connector if this one doesn't fit.
