Makerworld has significantly reduced the download/print points awarded to designers. Instead, they have introduced the "Boost" token, which you can apply to models that may not be the most popular (already gaining points from downloads and prints), but are useful or meaningful to you in general. This supports and encourages us, the "losers" (those not focusing on popular themes like Star Wars, car keychains, countless airless balls, etc.), to create more useful or niche designs.

As a biologist focusing on biomedical science, particularly in gene therapies for monogenetic diseases, I enjoy exploring 3D printing as a hobby. I've recently developed an affordable 3D printed liquid aspiration unit for laboratory use, aimed at efficiently removing supernatant from biological samples. I'm pleased to share that these designs have been published in the peer reviewed scientific journal HardwareX, contributing to the accessibility and affordability of laboratory equipment for research. It’s a open access journal, therefore no paywall barrier, you can read the article here https://www.hardware-x.com/article/S2468-0672(24)00003-8/fulltext

This page holds the following models described in the article.

1. G01: GL45 cap with hole: The GL45 cap, in combination with the G02 insert and B02 extension tube, converts commonly found GL45 threaded glass bottles into efficient waste collection and overflow reservoir vessels.
2. G02: GL45 cap insert with two barb connectors
3. G03: O-ring for GL45 cap insert (TPU; optional): The O-ring is an optional component that can be printed using soft, flexible filaments such as TPU. Its purpose is to establish an airtight seal between G01 and G02. However, it is worth noting that securely screwing the G01 onto the bottle automatically presses G02 toward the cap, ensuring adequate sealing of the apparatus.
