Ferment Air Lock

As a brewer and wine maker, I have used many "Air Locks" over the years during the fermentation stage of brewing. I really liked the look of the "multi bubble" air locks available in the UK. After a couple of false starts, I came up with this design that fits my needs.

Although this air lock was printed in a solid color, I will be reprinting it in a translucent color (once I purchase some) so I can see the fluid level during use.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Printrbot

Printer:

Play

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

.25mm

Infill:

100%

Notes:

I repositioned this model to stand straight up for printing. I opted for both a "Brim" and "Support" where the model touched the bed.

I included a disk (plug) on the mouth of the air lock, so that the slicing software would not build support inside the "fill cone".
