3D printed CONDENSATION PLUGS - much demand?

[TartanSpartan]

I have a design if you want to print them up and supply people. It's been through a number of revisions and now has a toroidal air path so that it seals against the Billet and the Boro better - also has a slot for an offcut of cotton - to soak up any pooling condensation.

That’s sounds great with the tweaks

£15! for 1?!!

I was thinking 3 for a tenner inc P&P at fine resolution was a little high but anything less would give little motivation to print them.

There doesn't seem much demand so far, like you I might just open source em on thingieverse.

What material did you use and did they hold up well?

I used PLA. £15 is what the 'dampless' were going for - to be fair they're printed in an absorbent material, and have airflow control. But to me the airflow control is worthless, as it's happening at the wrong place. The absorbent material bothered me - what do you do when it's absorbed to the point of saturation? My design used the bit of cotton as a sacrificial absorbent component

And it works like a charm I may add @domejunky

Any chance I you could send me the CAD file, I'm using Fusion 360, if you only have the STL I can always reverse engineer it as I have with my versions.

Failing that, a diagram of any changes you think I should make.

Much appreciated if you can help me out.

PMed you the file...

Any news on these @Vapaneezer Scrooge ? Im not trying to pressure you or anything i realise these things take time and it is a busy time of year. Cheers
