This is a free download for personal use. If you want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee

This model is part of my shower design family:

• Modern, round shaped shower head
• Heart shaped shower head
• Rainfall shower head with Toyota-logo
• Minimalistic, modern shampoo holder - No tools required!

This is an easy print with supports only below the thread, which are easy to remove. Choose your material, print and enjoy your lovely shower moments with this heat shaped shower head.

Normal shower water temperature is around 37-39°C and temperatures over 40°C are considered hot. Nobody showers with water temperatures above 50°C. PLA withstands temperatures up to 60°C, PETG up to 80°C and ABS/ASA up to 110°C. Choose the material, which gives you the most confidence - I use PLA :)

Multiple 1,6mm nozzle holes ensure nice, rainfall-kind of effect.

Standard G ½" thread for the hose connector.

Slim, minimalistic and modern design, looks best while printed with matte filament!

FAQ:

Q: Is it hygienic? 

A: FDM-printed parts are likely to contain porosities and are commonly considered as not solid parts. This design has thick walls aiming to minimize porosity of the structure. However, one should note that it is always possible that bacteria or debris can build up in the structure and regular cleaning is advised. If printed with PETG, you can for example soke the shower head to vinegar overnight to dissolve limestone buildup and disinfect the shower head.

Q: Will it melt because of the hot water?
A: PLA withstands temperatures up to 60°C without any deformation. PTEG 80°C, ABS/ASA 100-110°C. A normal, comfortable showering temperature is between 37-39°C, temperatures higher than 40°C are considered hot and nobody uses the shower normally with temperatures higher than 50°C. With that said, PLA will hold well, PTEG even better. ABS/ASA is a bit overkill, but can be used.

Q: There are leftovers from the supports on the thread. Do I need to clean it?

A: No. The design takes that into account by introducing flat areas on the bottom and on the top of the thread making sure that any small leftover from the supports or the seams will not affect the functionality of the thread.

Q: What is the thread size?

A: Standard thread in most household shower hoses is G1/2". In some rare cases the threads can be different. You can measure your current shower head thread's outer diameter. If it is close to 20.955mm, this will most likely fit.
