3" to 1/2" reducing plug designed for recirculating hydroponic systems. Its main function is to act as a level barrier, maintaining a constant water level within the tubing to protect the root system from power outages or pump interruptions. Ideal for research and low-cost production.

Printing Recommendations

To ensure watertightness (no leaks) and mechanical strength:

Material: PETG (Recommended for chemical and UV resistance).

Perimeters: 6 loops.

Infill: 50% (Gyroid pattern for greater structural support).

Top/Bottom Layers: Minimum of 4 layers.

First Layer Speed: 20 mm/s to ensure complete adhesion.

Layer Height: 0.2 mm (Ideal balance between sealing and time).

Post-processing: It is recommended to use Teflon tape on the 1/2" thread for a perfect airtight seal.
