Waterchange Set Aquarium [Reworked]

UPDATE 23.09.2023

For completing the Set, i've just uploaded two more pieces:

• “Suction_Cage” (you will need another “Plug_part1” in order to mount this; please make sure the cage is intact and your aquarium inhabitants won't fit through the gaps (3,5mm) before every use)
• “Hose_Holder” (for aquarium edges with a max. thickness of 17mm)

A reworked Modell of my previous Aquairum Waterchange Set.

[Old Modell]:

https://www.printables.com/de/model/459828-waterchange-set-aquarium

Requirements:

• Water Tap connection Diameter: max. 25mm
• correct tap design required where its possible to add the clamp from above

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Improvements:

• increased waterflow, especially when draining the aquarium 
• less use of filament
• improved overall functionallity (especially switching between flow directions)
• only one sealing ring required
• connection is now more waterproof
• possibility of easy change the clamping height due to the seperate clamping part

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchase parts you'll need:

• 1x sealing washer 30x3-3,5mm (inner diameter 20mm)
• water hose 12/16

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Print Settings i've used:

• printed with PETG
• 0.2mm layer height
• 100% infill
• only parts that need support is the “Y-Part” and “Clamp” (see Slicer-Pictures)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steps to perform a waterchange:

1. connect adapter to the water tap
2. make sure the outlet is closed “Plug_part1” + “Plug_part2”
3. turn on watertap until the hose into the aquarium is completely filled with water
4. close watertap and open outlet - if your aquarium waterline is over the outlet, water should now drain out of the aquarium
5. close outlet and open watertap to refill the aquarium
