SUBARU WRX STI AOS CATCH CAN FULLY PRINTABLE

thingiverse

This is my first upload, I'm a total newbie to 3D design. This is a design based on a part I've already fabricated and the design works very well. I haven't used a 3D printed version yet, so use at your own risk! I have scaled everything to fit pretty well; I've included test items for you to print and check the scaling of the threaded parts if you choose to print this. If you're going to print it and sell, please keep my logos on it - that's all I ask. Everything should be easily printed without supports. I suggest going with a slightly lower extruder temperature and running 100% cooling so the threaded parts come out nice. I added a version of the top and bottom half with supports for threads; print this one, please. Do not add support in your slicer - you don't want a bunch of extra junk inside the can that could come loose and end up in your engine. I would also suggest using O-rings on all the fittings to ensure an air-tight seal - I don't want to hear any blown ringland stories!

I test-printed it, and the support snaps right out as planned, and the fittings thread in perfectly now! I also added a file with the can assembled with some simple directions embossed on it. I added a new PCV adapter with built-in supports; just print this one with a brim, twist the support piece, and pull it out! All the pieces and parts have been test-printed. I would strongly suggest printing all the pieces one at a time - don't try to print the assembled cans; it won't work. 1/2/18 update: I updated the bracket to add some strength and made the fittings a little larger to better fit ½-inch hose. 1/21/20 This thing could be a lot better - leave a comment if you'd like to see me redesign this! We made a few of these in PETG; they were pretty cool, but PETG starts to deform pretty quickly when it's warm. I suggest using ABS or even better would be some kind of nylon G or nylon carbon fiber.
