Washing Machine Blanking Cap \ Appliance Trap
*UPDATE*
Version 12.
After doing the washing, the hose had no place to rest and would fall on the floor and cause water to leak on the floor and under the washing machine.
Since we don't use the hot water connection, I created a Blanking Cap \ Appliance Trap to fit neatly onto that connection and hold the hose pipe.
I printed at 0.2 but to get a cleaner accurate connection, 0.15 is recommended.
I always print with 100% infill for more strength but you can choose your own infill.
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
Ender 2
Rafts:
Doesn't Matter
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.15
Infill:
100
Filament: Wanhao PLA Natural
Notes:
Supports (If using Cura) will only be needed for the centre of the pipe holder.
Using Fusion360, I took measurements from the original Blanking Cap \ Appliance Trap.
Using these measurements, I made sketches and then extruded them out.
My idea was to make it as close as possible to the original cap but with an extra hook to hold the hose pipe.
After 7 modified ideas, I finally reached the 8th idea which has gone through daily testing.
