Hozelock Autostop Water Pressure Fix

If you're here, you've probably been struggling with the Hozelock auto-stop adapters.

They reduce the water pressure out of the hose in the name of allowing the nozzle to be changed without turning off the water.  They however have a fundamental flaw, in that they slow the water down and lower pressure at the nozzle.

This happens because the water is struggling to get around the stopper, through the adapter and into the hose nozzle.

This replacement part for the stopper just allows the water to flow efficiently, and therefore increases the water pressure, while still functioning as an auto-stop adapter.

You need to remove the o-ring from the original (carefully - please don't use a knife or slice your hand), drop in this replacement, and then put the o-ring on this new part.  And you're done.

I printed mine at 100% in-fill because I wanted it strong, and there's virtually no material used.  I also painted the supports in Prusa Slicer to minimize unnecessary supports.  So the .3mf file is included to help in the slicer and understand what I did.
