Garden nozzle replacement

2020-05-14 - Once again another year and another broken nozzle. These get brutally abused and I also think water was left trapped in it over winter... oops... Either way I took out the old plastic insert measured it up and designed a new one. The hardware and o-rings were still used. I believe this is a pretty standard piece for a lot of nozzles. I am sick or buying new ones and throwing away old ones with a solid outer shell and functioning outer components. One thing I want to do is check the fluid dynamics down the road. See if I can improve it more, BUT that's future me work.

I printed PLA partially because I was too lazy to change filament and also because I want to test the PLA to see how long it can endure. I would highly recommend PETG or ABS (not setup yet for ABS nor do I have any spools, yet).

I printed this with the small diameter down because the the shaft that the nozzle selector turns on. Also support was definitely used because of the large upper portion. Careful
