Please read entire description before printing. 

 

This is the 3rd version of my drain snake that I designed. This version is a modular extendable version, allowing you to conenct as many pieces together as you want, making the snake as long as you want.

 

PLEASE NOTE: I highly recommend using PETG, it is more flexible and less likely to break. That being said, it is still plastic and has limits, so be careful when using and if it breaks that is on you.

 

ASSEMBLY:

 

First, use some cutters and snip the end off of each connector piece. When these print, the end is just a smidge widder and you have to trim it off in order to fit. 

Each piece is meant to go together with the barbs at a 90 degree angle to one another (as shown here). Basically, it only goes together one way, so put it together the way that is shown here in the picture.

 

You MUST use glue when putting these together, and I recommned using something strong. This is the stuff I like because it has a brush which mades it very easy to apply, and once it tries it is VERY strong.

You can put together as many pieces as you would like. I made my drain snake a little over 4 feet long, but again you can use as many extension pieces as you like.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and I will help any way that I can.
