Rain barrel diverter + leaves filter + open/close valve

cults3d

Now the new drain pipes are installed, it's time to buy a rain barrel also. But the barrel needs to be filled... Apparently there are some very simple ways to fill a barrel. The simplest and cheapest flow diverter cost about 15 euro and the more advanced around 40-55 euro. So let's print one, with all options. Features: -Automatic diverting flow when barrel is full. -Leaf protector, so no need to clean the barrel. -Integrated open/close valve, so during winter time the drainage water will not enter the barrel. -Diverter consist of 2 parts only (1 needs some support) -Connection to 1 inch barrel hose. (So the grey part in the picture is not necessary anymore.) -Compact solution. (Only need to cut 55 mm away from the original drain pipe.) Several sizes are available, fitting pipes: -Outer diameter 60, max wall thickness 2.5 -Outer diameter 70, max wall thickness 2.5 -Outer diameter 80, max wall thickness 2.5 -Outer diameter 90, max wall thickness 2.5 -Outer diameter 100, max wall thickness 3.0 -Outer diameter 110, max wall thickness 3.0 Also included a connector piece, for mounting into the barrel. It has the same 1" inch hose connector. The hole in the barrel needs to drilled: between 32 and 35 mm. It's important, to make the hole in the barrel a little bit lower, then exit of the diverter. Total amount of filament ~200 gr, so that's about 10 euro (colorfab HT), at least ~4 times cheaper then the commercial ones. Working version (previous iteration): https://youtu.be/jraEPJbXMDM ps. Don't be afraid, if the hose is leaking a little bit. When it's raining, everything gets wet anyway.. ;)
