over the course of the winter my Hoselock quick release coupling broke for no reason. i was going to get a new one but when i saw the price of a whole fiver i was like "not on your nelly Mr. Hoselock". so now I've used about a fivers worth of plastic and spent about 20 hours of R&D time to produce a leaky but OK coupling of my own. worth it, haven't decided yet.
Whatever, it gets the job done!
i have included a couple 3/4" BSP test threads. i have found that they only screw together if its a good thread, otherwise it's no hope. BUT they do screw perfectly onto a properly formed thread that wasn't printed which is why i have reused the green nut from my bust coupling. it's the first time I've tried to print a thread so take it easy.
i've also included some .STEP files and the original Inventor files as STL's are the most pointless thing i know
