Welcome to my first model in the Printables Store.
My model is a leaf separator that filters your rainwater and serves you the leaves in a bucket. Once installed, you don't have to worry about anything else. After 1,5 years of testing I made this updated version.
Note: The tallest model is 295 mm high.
Updated Version:
integrated silencer (no more "drip, drip, drip")
for larger quantities of water
more compact - less filament consumption
The key features are:
Absolutely maintenance-free (no clogging, no regular emptying of leaves)
Almost no water escaping from the side
No weakening of the downpipe
Optional leaf container for the downpipe
Easy to print
no support
The new Silencer:
To prevent dripping noises, the new design incorporates a 'sand bottle'. This is filled with sand, which gives the leaf separator the necessary mass to dampen vibrations.
The following pictures show the original design

Before you heat up your printer: Please take a look at the illustrated drawing to check compatibility with your downpipe:
