Garden hose attachment to clean (drain) pipes from the inside.

thingiverse

Drain pipes sometimes get clogged. There are off course several options to solve this (the best of which is to pay someone else to do it), but this is an easy way to try to solve the problem yourself. This solution will not work if the clog is too far from your point of entry, if your region has a low water pressure or if the clog is very rigid. So, this is how it works: 1. Print according to the instructions below. 2. Make the sphere nice and smooth. 3. Drill 1mm holes in the sphere. Drill holes in the front (for the actrual cleaning) and on the back around the connection (for propulsion). Usually 8 holes for propulsion and 1 for cleaning works best. 4. Connect to a half inch garden hose with hose clamps. 5. Give it a quick test. The hose should start dancing with a little pressure (if you don't know what I mean, try it). 6. Feed into the clogged drain pipe. 7. Only turn on after the head is in the pipe. 8. Feed the hose in after the head, play with the hose and hope for the best. 9. Clean up and take a nice long shower. You've deserved it. 28 september 2018: uploaded a stronger version
