Description

Quick model to make it more convenient to fill water balloons for the kids. It's a nozzle that fits standard garden hose threads (NH-11.5, female). The model has a 40mm long nozzle (easy to grip) with an OD of 10mm and an ID of 4mm. Even if you're not filling balloons, it makes a nice strong jet of water. 

Model is designed to print upright with no supports (interior overhang above the threads is 45 degrees). 

Note that the threads on the model are at standard size/spec, but you might have to scale slightly to get a snug fit on your printer. For me, with a 0.8mm nozzle, 0.3mm layer height, and 1mm line width, scaling to 99% resulted in a perfect fit. Might not need any scaling with 0.4mm nozzle. If you're also printing with a large nozzle like me, I'd recommend sticking to a small layer height. Too tall and you'll lose resolution and strength in the threads. 

Enjoy!
