4-Way Water Manifold
Created today
Description
A compact, print-in-place water manifold built for automated plant irrigation systems. It splits a single main feed into four independent channels with smooth internal transitions to minimize flow restriction.
- Inlet: Single center-mounted fitting sized for 8mm ID hose.
- Outlets: Four equally-spaced fittings sized for 5mm ID hose.
- Barbs: Dual retaining ridges on all connections to prevent slip-offs under pressure.
- Internal Channels: Fully hollowed 7mm common chamber with spherical transitions to eliminate dead zones and sharp fluid corners.

4-Way Barb Manifold
Hoses slipping off a plain tube is a guaranteed flood. This 4-way manifold uses aggressive, precisely sized barbs to bite into soft tubing, routing one 8mm inlet into four 5mm outlets. Critical Fit Inlet: 8.2mm main shaft, 10mm max OD on three barbs. Outlets: 5.2mm main shaft, 6.7mm max OD on two barbs each. Flow: Internal bores are necked down to 3mm on the branches to preserve wall strength, expanding to a 16mm central chamber. Print it base-down. The horizontal barbs are short enough to bridge without supports if your part cooling is dialled in.
Halo Drip Irrigation Ring
This is a low-profile, continuous-loop irrigation ring designed for automated watering systems. It distributes water evenly around the base of a plant without interfering with the stem. The structure is engineered specifically for FDM printing without supports. The internal hollow channel features a teardrop cross-section so the printer can bridge the ceiling cleanly, and the external hose barb includes a small, built-in support block connecting it to the build plate. Design Notes Dimensions: 197 mm outer diameter, 173 mm inner diameter, leaving a 12 mm wide profile. Inlet: Dual-barb fitting sized for 5 mm internal diameter tubing, pointing outward to keep the hose clear of the foliage. Distribution: 12 downward-facing 1 mm drip holes spaced every 30 degrees, beginning 15 degrees offset from the inlet to ensure the first drops don't pool at the connection. Mounting: Three low-profile tabs sit on the outer perimeter, drilled for standard wire pegs to anchor the ring into the soil.
BSP 3/4 to 3/4 Hose Barb
An adapter coupling designed to step straight from a 3/4" BSP threaded fixture to a heavy hose. The hex nut transition is chamfered for support-free printing when oriented barb-down on the build plate. Dimensions & Fit Thread: 3/4" BSP (26.4mm OD, 14 TPI) Barb: 21.2mm maximum outer diameter (5-stage reversed taper) Bore: Steps from 20mm at the threaded end down to 14mm at the barb to maximize flow rate. Wrench Flats: ~31mm flat-to-flat Printing: Print barb-side down; no supports required.
Compact Offset Duct Adapter
A parametric, FDM-printable ventilation duct adapter connecting a nominal Ø100 mm round duct to a 200 × 60 mm rectangular duct. Round Inlet: Ø101 mm internal diameter, 30 mm deep Rectangular Outlet: 201 × 61 mm internal, 30 mm deep Offset: 25 mm vertical centerline shift Wall Thickness: 2.4 mm (constant, pushed outward) Total Length: 210 mm (150 mm transition) Both ends are female sockets designed for a slip fit over existing plastic ducting. The loft provides a smooth internal airflow path with no steps or constrictions.
CluckFlow — Gravity Waterer Cap
New chickens bring endless questions, but a reliable water supply doesn't have to be one of them. CluckFlow is a gravity-fed waterer cap that threads directly onto a standard bucket or heavy-duty jar, instantly converting it into an automatic hydration station for the coop. A smart internal drip-feed port regulates the flow from the main reservoir, ensuring the trough automatically refills as the hens drink without ever flooding. Dimensions Trough: 40 mm continuous drinking width accessible from all sides. Central Feed Tube: 20 mm inner diameter. Collar Thread: 100 mm diameter with a 5 mm pitch, scaled for common bulk containers. Design Features Print-in-Place: The internal bell funnel is steeply angled to bridge the gap between the central feed tube and the outer threaded collar, printing entirely without supports. Self-Regulating: Multiple drip ports ensure constant equalization of the water line.
Circular Scoop Reaching Stick
What it's for A 16 cm tall reaching stick with an open scoop base. Designed to securely push under small items and lift them, with an open front and a curved retaining wall at the back. Dimensions Overall Height: 160 mm Base Diameter: 100 mm Handle Diameter: 16 mm Print notes Prints upright in a single piece with no supports required. Ensure good bed adhesion for the 100 mm base plate.
