Here are two models to extend the chilipad reservoir.

chilipad_reservoir_ext_oring_v1

This model requires the use of an o-ring (78mm OD, 73.2mm ID, 2.4mm width). It is stretched to assemble, so a slightly  larger OD/ID would likely be compatible. See link for what I used.

chilipad_reservoir_ext_v1

Same model as above sans o-ring features. This would require some sealant to ensure the seam doesn't leak. 

Printing:

0.4mm nozzle

0.2mm layer height

PLA+

4 walls minimum to prevent seeping through the layer lines

Wall Generator - “Arachne” 

Supports - use normal (auto) and “snug”, add a brim to the bottom (inside and outer)

  • Use a small screw driver to work into the o-ring channel, slide along the inside surface and slide, the supports should come out fairly easily.

 

Assembly

  • Be sure to align the lid's locking tab's to the old container to ensure the lid is aligned and the handle is facing correctly when locked.
  • I added a bit of silicone grease to the o-ring to help make the seal.
