I was just curious what fittings you used to connect you hose to the inlet side? I don't seem to have any hose barbs on hand that fit it and just want to make sure I order something the fits nicely with little to no modification. Thank you for any assistance and making these, it saved me quite a bit of design time!
I guess easiest is to use what you have on hand, I would dill out to the minor thread diameter of what you have on hand and let the threaded part of your barb fitting cut the plastic or use a thread cutter if you have the right size. What size threaded barbs you got or better what threads you need?
I don't necessarily have a preference, was just curious if it was designed with a certain size in mind. I think what I have is 3/8 thread pattern but if I drill for that it will potentially get into the sparse infill and that's printed with a 5 wall with alternating walls on. No worries, I can mic it out and figure out what might work best. Thanks
