Garden Hose Spray Nozzle

July 3, 2024
Description
Using this, you can adjust the flow out of your garden hose from a soft mist up to a hard water jet. It also features some different conncector types so you can also fit your own hose adapter to it. If you cant find anything for your particular hose connector, you can use the .step to easily create your own.
Printing:
Print all parts in the given orientation. Concidering a 0.4 nozzle, you should use around 3 to 4 perimeters and 0.2 layer hight due to the threaded parts. Made my one out of PLA and it works really well but i recomment using PETG instead in order to make it a little more robust.
If you add a manual color change (See picture below), you can make it look more interesting.
How to use:
before using, you should tighten the nozzle on the handle part a few times really hard in order to make this smal skid marks apear on the cone (see picture below)
If this section is smoothed out a little, the spray mist seems to come out much nicer
See how it functions down below:
Id like to mention here that depending on your water pressure, it is likely that some drops of water will drip out of the handle if the nozzle is fully closed.
