DescriptionPDFHi!Here we have my first TinkerCAD attempt an making a small aquarium syphon (hence the edges). If you've never used one before, its super simple. The air bubbles created by the stone create suction. This pulls up the debris (doo-doo) from the substrate and deposits it into the bag without removing water. How It's Built:This was printed in PLA using tree supports. The airline connects to an air stone inside the tube. There is a cut out at the bottom of the bottom tube to allow the air stone to slide inside. There is then a small piece that slips in to hold it in place. I superglue this in place as there will not be a need to remove the air stone for replacement. The T pipe is closed off at the top with an angle inside it to direct what is sucked up into the bag. The T pipe has the flair in front to help hold the bag on. We use a rubber band to provide tension. Putting It Together:When printing is finished, first deburr the inside of the tall tubes, the outside of the T pi
