5.5-Inch Irrigation Ring With 0.25-Inch Tube Inlet

This is a 5.5-inch diameter irrigation ring designed to be used with 0.25-inch ID Tubing.  Use a small ball valve to adjust the flow rate of the water through the ring. This works perfectly with my 2-Liter Soda Bottle To 0.25-Inch ID Tube Adapters and 2-Liter Soda Bottle Clamp Mount

A T-Stake Hold Down .stl file is included and should be used to secure the irrigation ring to the soil. 

Tested to work with the following tubing: 

• JoyTube ¼" ID Silicone Tubing - https://amzn.to/379qGuq 
• Rollerflex ¼" ID Crystal Clear Vinyl Tubing - https://amzn.to/3uOudX9 
• Outfandia ¼" ID Irrigation Tubing - https://amzn.to/3iWKAeP 
• Feelers Drip Irrigation ¼" OD Switch Valve - https://amzn.to/3LD5I69 

*Note:  As these models need to be printed watertight, and quite sturdy, I recommend printing with 6 perimeters, and 5-6 top and bottom layers. 

*Note: Add a support enforcer in Prusa Slicer to support the tube inlet nub as pictured in the Support Enforcer Image located in the image gallery.
