UPDATE 23.09.2023 For completing the Set, i've just uploaded two more pieces: - “Suction_Cage” (you will need another “Plug_part1” in order to mount this; please make sure the cage is intact and your aquarium inhabitants won't fit through the gaps (3,5mm) before every use) - “Hose_Holder” (for aquarium edges with a max. thickness of 17mm) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A reworked Modell of my previous Aquairum Waterchange Set. [Old Modell]: https://www.printables.com/de/model/459828-waterchange-set-aquarium Requirements: - Water Tap connection Diameter: max. 25mm - correct tap design required where its possible to add the clamp from above ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Improvements: - increased waterflow, especially when draining the aquarium - less use of filament - improved overall functionallity (especially switching between flow directions) - only one sealing ring required - connection is now more waterproof - possibility of easy change the clamping height due to the seperate clamping part ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Print Settings i've used: - printed with PETG - 0.2mm layer height - 100% infill - only parts that need support is the “Y-Part” and “Clamp” (see Slicer-Pictures) Steps to perform for waterchange: - connect adapter to the water tap - make sure the outlet is closed “Plug_part1” + “Plug_part2” - turn on watertap until the hose into the aquarium is completely filled with water - close watertap and open outlet - if your aquarium waterline is over the outlet, water should now drain out of the aquarium - close outlet and open watertap to refill the aquarium
