This printable model is designed for descaling water faucets by attaching it securely using a cable tie. A TPU sealing ensures a watertight fit when filled with water and descaling solution. It’s a practical, DIY solution for maintaining clean faucets.

Included Files

• .3MF: Pre-configured for Bambu Lab X1C
• .STL: Universal files for 3D printing
• .SLDPRT: SolidWorks source files for adjustments or remixes

Recommended Print Settings for Watertightness

To ensure the model is watertight and durable, consider the following adjustments:

1. Print Quality Enhancements:

• Flow Rate: Increase flow to avoid line gaps
• Printing Temperature: Raise for better layer adhesion (avoid overheating to prevent bubbles)
• Seam Visibility: Minimize or randomize seams for less leakage

2. Mechanical Strength:

• Layer Adhesion: Reduce cooling for stronger bonding
• Wall Thickness: Use extra walls or high infill
• Volumetric Speed: Lower the maximum speed to avoid under-extrusion
• Top Layers: Add more for better sealing

Note: These settings may reduce visual appeal but significantly improve functionality.

Required Additional Parts

• 6x M5 Screws (minimum 25 mm length)
• M5 Nuts and Washers (use washers with seals if possible, or print TPU washers for custom sealing)
