Rain barrel diverter + leaves filter + on/off option

thingiverse

Now the new drain pipes are installed, it's time to buy a rain barrel also. But this one needs to be filled... Apperantly there are some very simpel ways to fill a barrel. The cheapest flow diverters cost about 10 euro and the more advanced around 35-50 euro. So time to design my own. Features: -Automatic diverting flow when barrel is full. -Leaf protector, so no need to clean the barrel. -Integrated open/close tap, so during winter time the drainage water will not enter the barrel. -2 parts only (1 needs some support) -Connection to 70x2mm pipes. -Connection to 1 inch barrel hose. -Compact solution. For changing the tap, the top part needs to rotate 30 degrees. So the drain pipe above should not be connected too thight. Total amount of fillament ~200 gr, so that's about 12 euro (colorfab HT), at least 3 times cheaper then the advanced commercial ones. Update 20180507: Finally printed a 2nd version. Took some iterations for getting that filament printing right.. Any way, it's [working](https://youtu.be/jraEPJbXMDM)!!
