Valved Snorkel

thingiverse

This sleek design is perfect for minimalist snorkeling enthusiasts looking to stay dry in pools or oceans while swimming laps for practice. It employs an advanced multi-valve system, separating fresh air from exhaled air with precision. The oversized silicon valves are cut from sheets and can be quickly assembled within minutes. A strong bond between the parts is achieved using E6000 or loctite superglue. For detailed instructions on assembly and testing, refer to: https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Snorkel/ This innovative design separates the valves into an input valve at the top and an output valve at the mouthpiece, providing enhanced protection from accidental water entry. The easily replaceable CPAP tubing is secured with E6000, while the clips on the snorkel stabilizer bar can be adjusted to fit any swimmer's face and mask preferences before being set in place with SuperGlue. With this model, swimmers can perform flip turns without water intrusion and clear their snorkels easily by blowing out. This design is a semi-dry option that allows for better air movement between the CPAP tubing and the two valves when using slightly larger connections.
