    For this I was going to release a 3D-printable tap aerator.

    It kind if works and even pulls air into the water stream, but it still needs tuning. However, it is hard to print fine filters with a standard 0.4 mm nozzle. So this time I am not ready to share my @freecad file yet.

    I want to :
    Do you have experience with 0.3 or even 0.25 mm nozzles? Do they print well with PETG? Please share your wisdom.

    FreeCAD screenshot. Red structure on a dark gray background. Some yellow peaking out at the bottom. The tail end of a tap aerator. It shows a kind of disk with 8 mm height and thereof 5 mm of fine thread. It has a 2 mm shell with a 1 mm air gap around the inside. In the middle there is a hexagonal (honeycomb) filter structure. Two parallel straight walls bridge the structure from one side of the shell to the other. Between them, crossing the center point, is a slot for a small coin that allows screwing the aerator into the tap. It fits coins around the size of five eurocents.

    FreeCAD screenshot. View from the top. The red main part is visible at the bottom. A blue fine filter is inserted at the top. It has a concentric hole structure and is flush with the top end of the main part. A yellow semitransparent o-ring is placed on top of both.

    FreeCAD screenshot. A clipping view exposes the inside structures. We see the sandwiched parts: main part, fine filter and o-ring. The coin slot is halved lengthwise. We see small air gaps to the sides that allow pulling air into the water stream from the concentric air gap to the main channel where the water is supposed to go.

    FreeCAD screenshot. Another clipping view at a different angle. The coin slot is halved crosswise. This one better exposes the air gaps around the top, right below the blue fine filter.

      @freecad Oh it's already!

      Well here's one for the "must you 3D print everything" category.

      Our arcade's new toilet has this tiniest of the tiny sink. We've had the soap dispenser on it awkwardly behind the tap while I've been hoping to find some kind of a wall mountable solution. All I could find was those flimsy suction cup mounted ones that you'll find on the floor after a while.

      I measured the the space between the wall and the sink and then made this. It fits there snugly and holds the soap bottle where it's actually easy to use from.

          Just made some reusable lids for common Crème Brûlée dessert glasses in @freecad . I printed them in PETG with a (colorchange) TPU ring for a flexible snug fit. Printing the top face in PETG is cheaper, faster and I can use various PETG colors as I have more of them.

            I made an experimental filament fuser.

            The filament ends are inserted in a piece of silicone tube and heated with a lighter.

            Then, the joint is inserted into the mold and pressed until it solidifies.

            The 3D-printed mold is lined with PTFE tube halves to increase its heat resistance. A stencil helps with the preparation of the tube segments.

            It is not super easy to handle but a first test turned out pretty usable.

            Photo of the 3D-printed parts (white PETG) on a window sill. Left: two halves of the mold. Right: tube cutter stencil.

            The filament ends are joined in a piece of silicone tube. The joint is placed in the mold. The tube is slightly sooty, indicating that it has already been heated with a lighter. However, it is still in tact and holds the melted filament in place.

            The ends of filament are fused together. There is the tiniest indentation visible at the junction.
