Water Diverter for bathroom tap V2

thingiverse

This is the latest version of my water diverter, an improved model that builds on the one I created earlier. Check out my original design here:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:969387 This new design will fit perfectly onto a bathroom faucet with a 23.5mm diameter aerator. Since it's highly adaptable, you can easily scale this to suit any size faucet. The upgrades include a smaller and lower-profile design that saves space under the tap (a significant advantage for low faucets), thinner walls because they didn't need to be as thick as before, a smaller hole in the diverter nozzle which allows for better control over water flow into your mouth when turned on less, and I've minimized interior nooks and crannies for easier cleaning and fewer places for bacteria buildup. After making several of these new designs, I can confidently say this is a much more convenient tool to use daily. One note: I later printed it in clear PETG which gave it a nice crystal look (as seen in the last photo cropped square), though it's hard to tell from the photos, PETG has proven itself to be an excellent material for making this item. Printer Settings Flashforge Dreamer Rafts No Supports No Resolution Medium (0.2mm layer height) Infill N/A Notes I printed this on medium resolution with ABS and needed no rafts or supports; it took 27 minutes but you can slow the machine down for a better finish if desired. Due to differences in machines, try stopping at around 25% completion and test it on the aerator, scaling up by 1-2% as necessary for a secure fit before letting it complete normally. Post-printing De-bur I only de-burred the inner edge that came into contact with the build platform. How I Designed This Tinkercad I built this in Tinkercad.
