Water Diverter for bathroom tap

cults3d

Note Updated version as of 22nd Jan 2016: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1285270 I have been busy creating the next generation diverter. Inspired by a couple of these devices seen on Thingiverse. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:964637 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26844 This one fits a tap aerator with a diameter of 23.5mm. What makes this different is the annular manifold at the top which helps prevent the aerator choking and keeps it working smoothly to allow a steady aerated stream. Simply placing your finger over the bottom opening gives nice bubbler style water flow from the top to rinse your mouth or drink. UPD: I printed another in clear ABS, needed to increase the scale by 2% in the printer software, would have been better 3% in hind sight. The Silver version was made in PLA, I think items that are going to be in contact with water are better in ABS. PLA can slowly dissolve while PLA is safe I do not know what the colouring agent is, that might leach out and cause a problem, clear ABS should be fine.
