Water Balloon Gun

thingiverse

I created this device to easily fill balloons with a standard garden hose. The trigger allows for controlled water flow on demand, while the nozzle makes filling balloons simpler and safer. It's designed to protect the balloon filler from accidental attacks as well. Print out two sets and engage in an epic water balloon battle. Enjoy! Instructions Update 201500621 - Make sure to use the v2 Hose Connector for American-style GHS hose connections. I split the housing into three smaller sections so that it can be printed on a Solidoodle 2 with a 6" x 6" x 6" build volume. To assemble, attach each section of the housing first, then place the internal components in their designated slots. Finally, close the housing with the other half. Some parts may need to be loaded into your printer with the inside down, but you'll want it to point up when assembled. Two valve options are included: a straight one and a curved one. The idea is to use the straight valve, which can bend to fit in the groove and flex under water pressure to control flow. However, if you're using a material that's not flexible enough, the curved valve should work instead.
