I have always struggled to keep the hose in small infusion buckets. Every now and then a clamp slips or I bump a hose and it pulls out and air goes in and everything gets messed up. Besides the bucket screwed to a board (with a fender washer inside the bucket) to hold pots of resin from tipping over – which is my favorite – this is a positive new development:
I printed this from PLA and am a little worried about the thing snapping off at the lip that holds the bucket lid. So far though it works pretty well! Can’t bring myself to use the Markforged and make a stronger one – it’ll be like five bucks! This one on the Fusion3 with PLA is 80 cents or so.
You can see if featured in the videos for Laminate Samples #7 and #9 in the material library.
If you want to print one – check out GrabCAD and search for “infusion”. This won’t be the last version, and you’ll have to scale it to use the right size hose – it’s set up for 3/8″ (9mm) OD hose – but it might be useful.
