This model is an aquarium overflow, designed to efficiently drain excess water to a sump or external filter. The overflow operates on the siphon principle, maintaining a constant flow between the aquarium and the sump without the risk of overflowing.
Adjusting Dimensions:
In Fusion 360, you can easily modify the model’s parameters (see the Model Parameters image). This allows you to adjust the flow rate or fit different tubing sizes.
Handle the Thread with Care:
The thread is fragile:
Installing the Retaining Screw:
The screw used to secure the tube must be inserted before inserting the tube. Then tighten it until it reaches the bottom of the overflow to firmly clamp the jaws around the tube, ensuring a tight seal.
If you don’t have access to Fusion 360 and need specific dimensions, feel free to leave a comment on the model page, and I’ll provide the necessary modifications.
