This model is a compact concentrator for refining gold from already panned material. It is designed for hobby prospectors who want to get the maximum amount of fine gold from their concentrate without tedious manual work.
Simply connect a water source, add the concentrate, and let the device use the water flow to separate heavier fractions from lighter ones.
Features
designed for refining concentrate after gold panning
simple construction suitable for home 3D printing
inlet nozzle for hose: 22 mm diameter
compact size, ideal to throw in a backpack and take to the river
Recommended print settings
material: PETG or ASA/ABS (more resistant to water, sunlight, and temperature)
layer height: 0.2 mm (or as preferred)
infill: 20–40 % depending on desired strength

Usage
Print the model and check that your Ø 22 mm hose fits the inlet nozzle.
Connect the hose to a water source (pump, gravity feed, etc.).
Position the concentrator so that the water can drain freely.
Gradually add gold-bearing concentrate and fine-tune the water flow as needed.
You can further modify the model to suit your needs – scaling the size, adjusting the inlet for a different hose diameter, adding mounting features, etc.
