Summary Introducing the Igloo Sprinkler—a unique, 3D printed garden hose attachment designed to maximize water coverage and pressure from a compact shell. This innovative sprinkler ensures efficient watering while using minimal plastic, allowing for quick and cost-effective printing.

Materials and Size The Igloo Sprinkler is best printed in ASA plastic due to its excellent resistance to temperature extremes and UV rays, ensuring long-lasting durability in various weather conditions.

Circle Diameter: 3 inches

Width with wings: 4.482 inches

Height: 2.044 inches

Usage The Igloo Sprinkler attaches to US threaded garden hoses and performs optimally with a TPU washer (attached). It requires minimal water pressure and can cover areas up to 8 feet, depending on your water pressure. While the hose threading in the design is not perfect, shout out to BooBooBuilds on YouTube (https://youtu.be/VfEXcG65vpk?si=ZdyN3H7xlEH658Mk) for the guidance that helped get it close.

Print Settings For the best results, print the Igloo Sprinkler with 100% infill to ensure the plastic's strength and prevent breakage when tightening around the hose. Supports are not required but are recommended for optimal print quality.

The Story I designed this sprinkler while learning Fusion 360. Small projects like this often require multiple iterations to perfect, and this one proved to be more challenging than expected. To my pleasant surprise, my design turned out to be better than the store-bought hose attachment and is now my primary attachment. Through perseverance and continuous improvements, I managed to create a functional and efficient garden tool. Note: I don't post on the internet but I'm surprized how well this works so this is my first 3d print upload.

I hope you like it!
