Need to quickly seal a water pipe or hose end? These printable universal water plugs are designed for common metric thread sizes:
🔧 Available Sizes:
- G1/4, G3/8, G1/2, G3/4, G1, G5/4, G6/4
Each model includes threads optimized for FDM printing and tight fitting. Ideal for maintenance, testing, or emergency use.
🧵 Threading is modeled based on standard BSPP (G) sizes, and plugs are sized for practical real-world fitting. Best results are with 0.2 mm layer height and 3+ perimeters for strength.
🧪 Material Recommendations:
- PETG – Recommended: great chemical resistance and watertight performance.
- ABS – For outdoor or pressurized use, UV and heat resistant.
- PLA – Not ideal for water, but can be used in emergencies when no other filament is available.
Note: Tightness may vary depending on slicer settings, printer calibration, and filament choice. You can add PTFE tape or a rubber washer for better sealing.
🧰 Use Cases:
- Temporary water pipe sealing
- Garden hose ends
- Maintenance work
- Leak testing
- Cap for unused connectors
