Fire Hydrant

This is a fire hydrant that will used by the dog. (you can guess the purpose !)

I saw a few, on site like Ebay or Temu, but they were only 14' high  (35 cm), and that wasn't sufficient. Ended up designing my own !

The total height is 24" (61 cm), and is made of 3 main parts (Base, mid and top section) My design is taking the whole print area of my BambuLab. I even wanted to use a different filament for support, but there wasn't enough room for the prime tower !!!

I made my design, with as little support as possible.

The base and the mid section are assembled together with a threaded rod in the center. I used 1/4 -20 rod, as this was the easiest to find where I live. I did tap the thread directly into the base (no thermal insert) as not much force was required.

You will need 1-½ Kg of red filament, and ½ of silver filament. Total print time of around 60 hrs.

You will also need:
8 x M3 Thermal insert to fix the plug square onto the plugs(design was for 4 par square, but I only used 2)
8 x M3 x 10 Button head to fix the square onto the plugs
8 x M6 Thermal insert for the plugs and the screw for the chain under it

4 x M4 x 45 Button Head, stainless steel, to install the plugs

4 x M6 x 10 Button Head, stainless steel, to fix the chain under the plugs

4 x 8" (20 cm) of “cheap” chain

I did spray a coat of Glossy UV protecting finish after assembly, as this will be outside, so the sun will damage it over time, for sure !

That's it folks ! Enjoy ! Send me an e-mail if you have any questions !

PS: I know, the screws holding the plugs are not Stainless steel on the picture: the stainless ones are schedule to arrive in 2 days…
