[PSUBS-MAILIST] 3D printed scrubber

[Alan James]

Well done Alec, I'm very impressed.
Like Doug, I'm keen to buy a 3D printer some time. I'm holding off till my Cad
skills improve. I've put your link here.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 3D printed scrubber
 


Hi all,

The last few months were so cold in the garage, I found something to do at my desk instead. I've just created a new "project" on the projects page for this little initiative. I printed two scrubbers for the new sub. As its a two person and the scrubbers have provisions for lung-power backup, it made sense to provide each crew member with his own. Although of course the lung-power option is a pretty dire last recourse. If a fan failed on one of the scrubbers, the surviving one should have no difficulty keeping up - its just that it would need refilling in half the time. BTW these are small because I like carrying most of the scrubbing agent in sealed containers, but if one wanted a larger scrubber, its very easy to increase the length of the cylinder while keeping all the printed parts the same.

Best,

Alec
