Hydro Halo

thingiverse

This is a mini hydro halo for starter pots. The outer diameter is 120mm and the ring thickness is 20mm. There are 5 customizable variables and they are as follows; outsideDiameter = 120; //outermost diameter of the model ringThickness = 20; //width of drip ring at the flat base //-------------- For a Hooked loop, set inletPosition to 130, Opened = 0 inletPosition = 130; //rotational position of barb connector (0 = -Y) startingDegreeFromY = -18; //Beginning angle of removed material degreesOfRemoval = 36; //Number of degrees of material to be removed To edit, you'll need to download and install OpenSCAD, but then a few quick value adjustments, press F6 to render, then Export STL once done. I'm certain you can make this as large as you want or as small as you want. The barb fitting is sized to mate with 1/2" poly tubing and I did not leave that value variable. If you want to though, feel free to locate that module and adjust accordingly. I had difficulty printing this model with Simplify3D support materials, so I created my own custom support for the barb fitting. It appears this might not turn out well so I also rendered unsupported models of each as well. If you have your slicer generate the support structures, watch that they don't try and support the orifices as that will inhibit water flow. Enjoy
