Description
I made this adapter to connect a cheap 12V water pump from china to my male garden hose quick connector using a piece of 8mm silicone tube. The male garden hose quick connector commonly has a BSP3/4" thread in Europe.
I prefer to print my pressurized water parts in ABS, so I can seal them using acetone. However on a good printer PETG can work just as well. PLA tends to randomly have issues with tiny leaks under high pressure. That's why I do not recommend it for this part, but it can work if you get lucky or try a few times.
If anybody wants a different size thread or barb, the Fusion360 file is included. If you don't know how to use Fusion360, send me a message and I'll try and adjust the design for you.
