IBC Tote S60 Fine Thread to Garden Hose Adapter

thingiverse

I thought I was in luck when I found garden hose adapters for a 275 gallon IBC tote here on Thingiverse. Unfortunately they are all S60x6 (i.e. coarse thread) and I have an S60x3 (i.e. fine thread) tote. Since I had to design my own I made the walls a little thicker and added reeding for grip when screwing it on to the tote. I also made a version with a bib nut that can help tightening it to the tote and prevent it from turning when screwing/unscrewing a hose. I'm not sure if a 2" o-ring will seal this like some of the other S60 style designs; I didn't add a groove for one and it's a cone so there's no flat area's. I feel like it would leak anyways without significant post processing to smooth the print layers. I plan on sealing the threads with teflon tape, but plumbers putty may also work. I was able to print without supports and only have very minor stringing at one side of the grip-to-bib transition on the inside (where the threads are at the widest). I'm currently printing the bib nut design with the fan on high and believe that will eliminate the issue. Now for my standard disclaimer: I am (obviously) NOT a professional designer. I can usually tinker to make something that works for my needs. Please leave constructive criticism if warranted, but don't be a troll. :) Hope someone finds this adapter useful! Have a nice day!
