Bucket Drain Ideal for Hydroponics & Aeroponics Setups

This is a great part I designed because I couldn't find any good ones available online.  I used it on my project you can take a look at here https://imgur.com/gallery/2mQM6Cb Though very useful I accidentally deleted the design from my Fusion 360 account… Forever it will remain as is. I installed this about 1.5" above the base of the bucket so I never got 100% drainage. However! if you put it at the bottom of the bucket it should be much better.

Here's the skinny:

• Print with food safe PLA or PETG @ 100% infill.
• You need to drill a hole 1.5" hole in the bucket I think… I actually forgot the exact size to be honest so I suggest you print it first to confirm the hole size.
• You need some sort of grommet on the inside to seal it. I used a rubber sheet I cut to fit.
• Place the grommet you find/make/ or print around the male screw side of the main body. Then feed that from the inside hole to the outside.
• Screw on the screw cap from the outside
• Screw in the inner drain “filter”.
• Connect a 1" water tube on the outside and screw on a stainless steel hose clamp.

Bingo bango you got yourself a bucket drain.
