Ryobi x Exped Inflation & Deflation Adapters

thingiverse

I recently designed and printed a couple of cool little parts that allow me to easily connect my [Ryobi p/n P747 inflator/deflator](https://www.ryobitools.com/products/details/33287178780) to my Exped sleeping mat (an [Exped MegaMat 10](https://www.exped.com/en/products/sleeping-mats/megamat-10?sku=7640147769755)). I made the part out of TPU, and it fits snugly onto the end of the inflator nozzle while also providing a secure attachment point for the mat's valve. With these adapters, I can quickly and easily inflate and deflate my sleeping mat without any hassle or fuss. It's a small but incredibly useful addition to my camping gear, and I'm thrilled with how well it works. **Important note:** The inflator adapter was designed in OnShape with two solids and two surfaces connecting them (via lofts). The STL renders correctly on several different viewers but Simplify3D has some issues with it. **Simplify3D renders it with a solid core unless you change some settings on the Advanced tab of the Process Settings.** In versions < 5 you need to uncheck the box labeled "Merge all outlines into a single solid model." On version 5 you need to change the dropdown called "Slicing Region Repair Mode" on the advanced tab to "Alternating Fill." I have no idea how other slicers handle it.**The deflation adapter works fine without setting adjustments.** I used a different technique for the deflation adapter and it seems to be perfectly fine. I'll try and tweak the design of the inflator adapter at some point and see if I can fix the issue. But rest assured; it printed fine for me a works a treat with the settings change noted above. *1 May 2023: Added V2.2 file which tightens the fit on both ends slightly.* *3 May 2023: Added a deflation adapter file.*
