The gcode is included in the files for reference. The most important parts to be mindful of are those of TPU.
Its recommended that, for the parts that require TPU (the plugs and the spout) to be printed at slow speed and with 0.12mm layer height (or lower, as long as your printer can manage said layer height). This is because these parts need to be as airtight as possible.
Also, make sure the seam it’s in the back of the ring of the plugs and opposite to the handle, as shown in the next figure:
Assembly steps for 10 ml and 20ml luer slip syringe kits
The 10ml and 20ml luer slip syringe kits are basically the same model, with two printables components each. The difference is the size of the plug.
No printable parts:
TPU Printable parts:
PLA or PETG printable parts.
Tools:
With the tin soldering iron, smoot the TPU parts in the red areas shown in the figures. Be sure to be in a well-ventilated space.
The idea is to make the seal the layer, but be careful of not over-melting the plastic.
Use the drill with a 1mm bit to make a small hole in the syringe, at about 8mm from the beginning of the body, as shown in the figure.
Inset the plug in the syringe. Make sure the lump that was smoothed with the tin iron soldering is aligned with the hole. You can peep from the other side of the syringe to see the alignment.
After this, insert the spout in the syringe.
The operation of the propipete is very simple:
The 60ml version needs a body for two reasons:
No 3d printable parts:
TPU Printable parts:
PLA or PETG printable parts.

Use the drill with a 1mm bit to make a small hole in the syringe, at about 8mm from the beginning of the body, as shown in the figure.
Since this model use a body, the hole needs to at an angle to the tip or syringe.
Retire the plunger. Inset the plug in the syringe. Make sure the lump that was smoothed with the tin iron soldering is aligned with the hole. You can peep from the other side of the syringe to see the alignment.
After this, insert the spout in the syringe.
Insert the body in the syringe.
Insert the wheel support and secure it with the threaded stopper.
Insert the plunger
Insert the plunger rack
Insert the wheel axle, but only half way. The curve side of the axle needs to align with the curve of the support.
Insert the Wheel and push the axle all the way in.
Insert the stopper
The operation of the propipete is a little more complex than the others versions, but is still relative simple:
