ADAPTER von GARDENA auf GHT Garden Hose Thread

Hello everyone,

I wanted to 3D print a cool garden hose sprinkler for my children, only to discover that my German Gardena Quick Connect adapter was incompatible with the model.

So I searched MakerWorld for a suitable threaded adapter and found a blank model file, which I have linked here.

However, the original model lacked a through-hole, preventing water flow.

Therefore, I remixed the model and added a through-hole. I also increased the infill to 100% for maximum stability.

I also added an O-ring for sealing, which I would recommend for watertightness.

Remember to also seal the female end with a gasket or use Teflon tape.

Please note that the thread may be very tight the first time you screw it on.

From my experience with Fusion 360, I know that there are numerous variations in thread design. From the number of threads to the thickness and spacing of the threads, the tolerances between two models can vary greatly.

It is therefore easier to design both the male and female parts with the same thread. Unfortunately, this is not possible here, as the female end is located on your end or in a different file.

Therefore, proceed slowly, screwing in bit by bit, loosening and tightening repeatedly until the thread reaches the end; a little silicone spray can also help.

Once you reach the end, it will be significantly easier to screw.
