Rain Barrel Downspout Diverter – Single Output #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Rain Barrel Downspout Diverter Single Output by mphamel Thingiverse

Manage the downspout flow better with this print from mphamel on Thingiverse:

This is a modification of the great design from @varnerrants. To allow for printing just one outlet for a single rain barrel.

The overall design is slightly shorter with an additional 1mm on the downspout ends to be a bit more forgiving

The one thing that is different from my print (pictured) to the file provided here is that I rotated the hose barb 180 degrees to improve ability to cleanly print the hose barb starting with the wider downspout end at the bottom.

I am no expert, this was largely a couple items commented out and a couple parameter tweaks, SCAD file is included so you can tweak to meet your needs.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
