Venturi / Conduit replacement V2

thingiverse

After countless trials and rigorous testing, this innovative venturi/conduit replacement has emerged as the latest achievement. It boasts an impressive stability record, having withstood over three days of relentless operation without a hitch. To integrate it seamlessly into your hydroponic setup, simply connect the upper tube to your system and the lower tube to your air pump. I personally opt for standard aquarium tubing, which proves more than sufficient for this purpose. If you encounter any issues with the tube being too tight, take a straightforward approach: cut it at a 45-degree angle and watch the problem disappear. It's also crucial to ensure that the tube destined for your hydroponic system is completely empty before activating the pump, lest it fail to function or stall altogether. A simple trick I use is to blow into the tube until it's fully evacuated. To guarantee optimal performance, place a substantial object in the basket and gently drop the unit onto the bottom of your container, where it will lie flat. This clever design ensures that your conduit remains perfectly perpendicular to the water level at all times, even with a modest 10 inches of water depth and a 3W air pump driving the system. With this design, you can expect effortless printing and a complete absence of clogging issues.
