Built to print vertical, flat (skinnier) end on the bed, without supports, a brim is recommended for better bed adhesion. I prefer the fuzzy skin setting, might be named differently dependent on slicer.
As the filter has too much girth to fit into the 5 gal jug opening, the model is tall enough keep the filter free hanging and pressure sealed to prevent unfiltered water leaking between the filter and fill basin during use.
I've only verified fit on jugs in the house which have all worked but if the 5 gal jug opening is not a standard size (mine measure at ~55mm diameter) then you may need to make some adjustments. See the link below to remix or verify dimensions.
Remix it here: TinkerCAD
What you'll need:
- A 3D printer, lol
- A standard Brita pitcher and corresponding filter (other brands may work if similarly designed, but check dimensions first)
How to use:
- Remove basin assembly from Brita pitcher (filter should stay in place in the basin)
- Lower basin assembly into the printed model
- Lower model and basin assembly onto mouth of 5 Gal jug
- Fill basin with water and watch water drip away
- Refill the basin until the jug is full (and refill and refill and refill…)
Please excuse the messy kitchen, lol
