Tube Syphon

prusaprinters

This is a printable version of a common fuel syphon tube used to transfer fuel from/into a cannister.. I don't know if anyone made one yet, a quick search on thingiverse didn't show any. I'm using a tube with 12mm inner diameter and a 15.85mm marble. I can easily adapt it for other tube or marble sizes. The version I printed is split in top and bottom and it's united with 3 M3 screws/nuts. I included a "whole" version, if anyone wants to try waiting by the printer and placing the marble inside mid-print. Update 20-11-2019: I have now printed the whole thing in one go, first it came loose frm the bed, I didn't want supports ruining the finish, so I added a base to increase adhesion, it's easy to break apart and leaves a tiny burr, easy to sand off. You can either remain by the printer and pause it to insert the marble or use the pause at specific layer function.
