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

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchase parts you'll need:

  • 1x sealing washer 30x3-3,5mm (inner diameter 20mm)
  • water hose 12/16

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 a waterchange:

  1. connect adapter to the water tap
  2. make sure the outlet is closed “Plug_part1” + “Plug_part2”
  3. turn on watertap until the hose into the aquarium is completely filled with water
  4. close watertap and open outlet - if your aquarium waterline is over the outlet, water should now drain out of the aquarium
  5. close outlet and open watertap to refill the aquarium
