The file 'Aquarium Inlet Filter / Guard For 1 Inch PVC Fittings 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 200.1KB.
This is an inlet guard that fits nicely into a 1" PVC fitting. I designed it so I could add a mollie to my mini frag tank.
There are two versions: the standard and the stronger. The standard will let more water through while the stronger sacrifices a small amount of water flow for more strength. Both are allowing around 50gph through a gravity feed with zero problems.
DO NOT PRINT THIS IN PLA. Use ABS if you can. Nylon is preferable. I'd also highly suggest running activated carbon in your system with ABS to absorb any odd VOC's that get released. This may not be a problem at all, but I like to play it safer than sorry.
