Detailed descriptions on how to adjust the print settings can be found here.
Summary: To make the components waterproof adjustments to the print setting are necessary (parameter names from Cura)
- Infill density:
100% - Wall thickness: 4 lines
- Flow (or extrusion multiplier):
108%. Tells the printer to use more filament than necessary to close gaps between neighboring filament lines.- If your slicer is capable of setting different values for the flow used for the object and the support material, stick with 100% flow for the support material. Otherwise, removing the support will be more difficult.
- Printing Temperature:
215°C. A bit hotter than usual to make the filament flow better. - Try to orient the objects on the print bet such that the water flow direction is along the z axis (explanation).
- Added hose end cap.
- New wall connector that allows mounting a hose extender on a wall, e.g. of a plastic enclosure containing magnetic valves.
- Added parameters for hoses with 6mm inner diameter (
Parameters.scad) - Updated box shaped splitter (
HoseSplitter_BoxShape.scad) to accept different inlet and outlet diameters and added numbers on the housing.
