Rain Barrel Water Diverter

thingiverse

So, my father-in-law gave me a big rain barrel and I wanted to find a way to modify my gutter without completely cutting through it. I made a print that would let me cut a square hole in my gutter and siphon off the rain water into my barrel. So I cut the square, placed my print in the hole, siliconed around it, and even screwed some sheet metal screws into the gutter itself. I got a tiny drizzle and managed to get inches in my rain barrel last night so I consider it a success!
