No more sucking on the pipe, water changes have become that little bit easier!

This was printed in Prusament asa at 0.15mm layer height, it's a nice snug fit in a standard garden hose and works perfectly.

Thanks very much.

Doesn't work but turned out good.. my valves come out stuck also (edited)

Great idea, thank you very much

I printed two one on a PEI plate and one on a Epoxy plate from ankermake they both did not work please tell me how I can fix them!

@DrJones the inner part does move but it sometimes gets stuck and yes it does

@Gamergeodeyt_1369280 Strange; I printed a few on different printers meanwhile, never had it stuck though. No idea why, sorry.

Thank you so much for this design. It is in my print queue and as soon as I have it done I will take some photos of it in action.

Made this to empty a fountain for my dad so we could haul it off. Worked like a charm. Secured with a piece of duct tape, didn’t stay secure on the hose by itself. Quick and dirty, gets the job done as advertised.

Emptied my pool with 0 effort.
Thanks!

Auf die schnelle mit PLA gemacht. Wird noch getestet, Druck hält aber stabil und läuft auch flüssig im inneren. Danke!
