This is a fully 3D printable adjustable garden hose connector. Just add a standard garden hose gasket between the two threaded angle pieces and use the threaded lock nut to squeeze the two sides together to create a water-tight seal. The design is intended for many not just right angles to be used since the non-ribbed side can be rotated to any desired orientation. Printing tipsPrint using thin layer lines for optimal thread quality (I prefer using ~0.12 mm layer height)Use a water-resistant material like Polypropylene for optimal water-tight results (I prefer using Xtellar PP-CF or PP)Print with multiple perimeter wall layers (>4) if you are not using 100% infill. More wall layers will equal more pressure resistance and water tightness. Use 100% infill for optimal performanceHigh print speed can impact layer adhesion so slow down printing if you notice the durability is less than you desire. (Hot and slow will give you the strongest layers)
