Suction Filter Basket

thingiverse

## Introduction Here is my first design to tackle problems I had with jammed pipes using rain water in my irrigation system. It is a suction filter to protect pipes and pumps from clogging by simply screwing it onto an inlet. The filter will prevent any larger particles to enter the system. It is available in different commonly used thread sizes and simple to print. The cap is removable to make maintenance and cleaning as simple as possible. Extra tip: Use a pen and push the cap from the inside of the filter basket to remove it. ## Features - available in different common thread sizes (e.g. Gardena) - DIN pipe thread: 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch - removable cap for simple cleaning, fits all thread sizes - mesh size is smaller than 2.3 mm - 2 mm thick wall size for great stability - simple printing, no supports or adhesion required ## Printing Print the body standing upwards on the thread. Print the cap upside down with the clips facing top. No support or special adhesion is required. Infill of 15% is sufficient. Printable with any material. Threads work fine using layer height of 0.2 mm. ## Help Need more information or have questions? Need any other thread size for this? Let me know and I´ll be happy to provide and assist. Also I´m open for feedback and improvements.
