Summary

This is a multi part tap handle for standard bar tap faucets. I made this heavily Steampunk influenced for my own cellar bar.

To make the full tap handle you will need:

3D-printed parts:

  • 1x Top Piece
  • 2x Middle Pieces
  • 1x Bottom Piece
  • 2x Cog Wheels
  • 1x Actuator Fitting (optional for LED operated version)
  • 1x LED strip Holder (optional for LED operated version)

Other parts:

  • 32mm (white) plastic piping (standard WC room drain pipe at my hardware store).
  • 8mm or 6mm threaded rod, depending on your preference finish.
  • Nuts & Washers
  • 8mm brass tube (if using the 6mm threaded rod finish).
  • LED-strip with adhesive tape (optional for LED operated version).
  • Arduino or other LED driver of your choosing (optional for LED operated version).
  • Wires (optional for LED operated version).
  • 6mm brass tube (optional for LED operated version).

Update 2018-10-09:

In case you want to print your central piece rather than use the 32mm plastic piping I have now included one "plain_chamber" model to accommodate that. If you want to be even more advanced I included a bonus "fusion_chamber" model as well. Have fun!

Update 2018-12-16:

I added a bonus third episode explaining how to setup and use the Arduino platform to get the LEDs up and running. Have fun!
