Sink to Hose Adapter (moen bathroom sink)

prusaprinters

<p>I needed an adapter to clean my fish tank (I have one of those python attachments). But we just got a new moen bathroom faucet and it didn't fit.</p> <p>The threads on the moen seemed to be about 21mm wide and 1.5mm pitch. The hose part is about 24.5mm wide and has a 1"/27 or 0.94mm pitch.</p> <p>I printed it in this orientation. The sink is a tight fit if you use the o ring from the aerator. The hose isn't a very tight fit, and some teflon tape would probably help there. I didn't bother with it, because the leaks were small (but high pressure). I just wrapped a towel around the faucet for the 15 minutes I was cleaning the fish tank.</p> <p>A word of warning though. The threads are pretty strong, but I am sure that if you put your full hand power or use a wrench to tighten it down, you can break it. You don't want to end up with broken plastic threads in your sink. It is also very easy to cross thread.</p> <p>Here's another tip though. You can also split this model up just above the hose threads and then scale X and Y a little on each half independently without hassling with a CAD program.</p> <p>Let me know if you make this, and how well it worked.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I printed with 6 perimeters top/bottom. 3 horizontal perimeters. No support and 30% infill. Make sure you are printing hot enough to get good adhesion. It doesn't help to add supports, the overhangs are pretty tame and the threads would be ruined.</p>
