thingiverse

Easy to build, easy to print, and more affordable than anything else! Have you ever bought a silicone hose without also purchasing a caulking gun on impulse? Well, good for you, I suppose... Now you can 3D print this! Required materials: - 3/8" coarse threaded rod - Printed parts - 4 Screws, 4 Bolts and nuts, or Adhesive Instructions: Assemble at your own risk! - Print parts with supports at a layer height of 0.2 mm - Remove supports, clean up the printed parts - Ensure that the threaded rod fits into the handle and fixture (this may require some effort to loosen) - Drill or melt holes into the silicone tube where it aligns with the fixture holes about 1 cm from the top (skip this step if you are gluing the fixture to the tube) - Insert short screws into the holes where they line up, friction will hold them in place - Assemble everything together Done!
