I purchased an electric pump for transferring wine from one container to another (a “Self Priming Anti-Gravity Transfer Pump” - link below). It works well but it can be tedious to hold the pump, move hoses, and watch progress at the same time, and if you have to move the cane (to avoid sediments, or to capture them depending on the brewing stage) things can get tricky and messy. I published a support bracket separately here on Printables. This model is for an easier-to-use split bung, instead of inserting the cane into a rubber bung which is much more difficult to adjust while working.
This two-part bung is made to fit the metal cane included with a kit pump, but the FreeCAD design file is included in case you want to modify the design a bit to use with a plastic “J" racking cane. If you are using a suction thief (manual J-cane plus extraction tube), this bung will not be useful for you.
The cane and a hose are connected to the input side of a pump; the cane makes it easy to transfer liquid from the bottom of the carboy or higher up. The other hose goes to the destination container(s). See my Printables model for a wine carboy pump bracket for details.
This two-part bung that makes it easy to slip the metal J-cane into a carboy, holding the working end about 1 inch / 25 mm above the lees / sediment. At this height, there is little or no agitation of the sediment, and you can easily slip out the “catch” portion of the bung to allow manually lowering the cane a bit further, for example, into the lees when moving from primary fermentation to secondary (at which time you want to keep some of the lees).
I've included the FreeCAD file if you want to modify the design.
Slicer settings are not critical. No supports are needed (if you print the main piece with the flared side on the print bed). Settings summary:
Filament: PLA (better near food, however, there should be no contact with the wine). I printed this with Atomic Pro PLA.
Nozzle: 0.4 mm
Quality: 0.2 mm Quality is recommended since the main part, the J-cane, and the catch should be allowed to move slightly when necessary.
Infill: 25% (can be less but don't go below 15%)
