Kids toy faucet / water tap

thingiverse

The faucet of my nephews toy kitchen broke so I made him a new one. It can be rotated/opened like 20° backwards and 60° to left and right. You need 2 bearings (outer Ø 22 mm, inner Ø 8mm, height 7mm) and, If you want to screw it to a desk, 3 threaded inserts (M5) like these https://www.amazon.de/ruthex-Gewindeeinsatz-Gewindebuchsen-Einpressmutter-Kunststoffteile/dp/B09BMJTJ6N Some parts do need supports because I am a horrible designer (and animator!), so feel free to remix it at any time. Insert one bearing deep into the base part, then push in the outlet (push it against the inner rod) and then the second bearing. If you want to add the "lid" part to protect/hide the bearing (else a child could pull it out), you need to cut it on one side and push it over the inner rod. Glue the lid in place, then add a spring (I used a spring with 5,5 x 17 mm) into the tube on the T-piece, the spring should have like 5 mm on each side of the T-piece left. Push the spring together and push the head over the T-piece, the spring will snap into the vertical holes into the head piece. Attention I: You may not be able to seperate these parts later. Maybe you could just pull with force, which will destroy the spring and scratch your printed parts. Attention II: Most of the parts are modelled without tolerances, so they are a tight fit. But they DO fit right out of my prusa i3 mk3s. if the parts dont fit together you may need to scale some parts or adjust your printer. Please DO NOT leave comments like "it does not fit!". Print with enough walls and infill to make it child proof. Since I made it in blender I uploaded the .blend file. There is another (bigger) model in out, but that was just a
