All indoor faucets contain an aerator which minimizes splashing, mixes in air and provides a final screening step.   These should be removed and cleaned typically once or twice a year.    There are several different kinds of aerators ,  including hidden or cache aerators that have external (male) threads that can be screwed into and out of the faucet outlet by using a faucet aerator key like these.  

The most common hidden/cache aerator sizes in the US are 16.5, 18.5, 21.5 and 24 mm. I have  three faucets in my home with 16.5 mm hidden aerators.     These tools can be printed and used to remove hidden/cache aerators of those four sizes.       

I printed these in ASA using 25% infill and 3 walls/perimeters.     Other materials will work, PETG, ABS, and possibly even PLA, but if your aerators have not been removed for several years, they may be difficult to remove initially, due to a buildup of residual minerals, and you'll have  better chance of success with ASA or ABS.    If you remove and clean the aerators every year, even PLA should work ok.     I would print a couple of extras to have on hand, eventually the very small plastic tabs on any printed or store purchased aerator key will break.
