Water Diverter for bathroom tap

thingiverse

Note Updated version as of 22nd Jan 2016: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1285270 I've been hard at work creating the next generation diverter. Inspired by several devices I've seen on Thingiverse, including http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:964637 and http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26844. This one fits a tap aerator with a diameter of 23.5mm. What sets it apart is the annular manifold at the top, which prevents the aerator from choking and keeps it running smoothly for a steady stream of aerated water. Placing your finger over the bottom opening gives you a nice bubbler-style water flow from the top, perfect for rinsing your mouth or taking a drink. UPD: I printed another one in clear ABS, increasing the scale by 2% in the printer software. Looking back, it would have been better to increase it by 3%. The Silver version was made in PLA, but I think items that come into contact with water are better off in ABS.
