Cleanable Hose-End Filter Basket (or RV Gray Water Filter)

There are lots of filter baskets out there, many of them fit hose ends, but most of them seem designed to strain debris from going into a hose. My purpose is to catch debris as it's leaving the hose. My specific case is that sometimes I need to discharge gray water from my RV, but don't want to trash up the area with small food scraps that went down the sink. This catches stuff as it exits the hose. And because the stuff is now inside the basket, I have an easy-open slide door (lid) that will make the filter easier to empty and clean out. The lid can be slid on from either direction, and there is a small button at one end to catch the edge of the basket. The particulate hole size is based on 4mm squares.

Even though there are parts of this that looked like they needed supports (e.g., the hose end threads), I opted instead to print at fine resolution (.16mm layer height), and it printed fine, without supports, on my Kobra S1 Combo. That also made the whole thing stronger, which I wanted, since this will likely get thrown around my parts drawer in the RV until I need it (which isn't too often).
