There is a blind "fixed end" that caps both cylinders, and a "removable end" that serves as a lid to the space between the cylinders. This removable end is held tight against the scrubber agent in tension by two bungee cords. It is thick, so that as the scrubber agent settles the removable end can move into the cylindrical space keeping up the pressure and preventing the formation of air paths. Because thermal contraction makes thick parts challenging to print, there are two files (A and B) for the removable end. Print them separately, bolt them together.<div><br></div><div>The non-printable parts are:<div><br></div><div>- Two cylinders made of perforated brass sheet. The material for those is McMaster item #<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;text-align:center;">9360T15. Roll the perforated sheet by hand into two cylinders of 1 7/8" and 5 1/4" diameters. I rolled the cylinders with about 1/2" overlap and put small pop rivets in the overlap to make a seam. Do this AFTER printing, so you can use the printed parts as diameter references. Vary the cylinder length as desired to increase or decrease Sofnolime capacity. Mine are 12" long.</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;text-align:center;">- The backup breathing hose is "Bilgeflex" white corrugated bilge pump hose from West Marine.</span><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;text-align:center;">- A SCUBA 2nd stage rubber mouthpiece.</span><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;text-align:center;">- The white external bars parallel to the cylinders and holding them together are fiberglass structural rods, McMaster part #</span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#8543K53" title="" style="outline-style:none;color:rgb(128,0,128);text-decoration:none;display:inline-block;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;white-space:nowrap;width:51px;">8543K53</a>, drilled and with <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;text-align:center;">1/4" SS threaded rod inside.</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;text-align:center;">- The fan is a Delta Electronics BFB0712H, obtainable from Digikey as item #</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">603-1118-ND.</span><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">- The rest is just a little bungee cord and a couple of tiny SS screws that go through the external and internal stiffeners to hold the outside cylinder to them.</span></div></div></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">For details please refer to the photos on </span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.psubs.org/projects/1234567810/printedscrubber/" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;">http://www.psubs.org/projects/1234567810/printedscrubber/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Permission is hereby granted to all PSUBS members to use this design with the caveat that it is experimental and untested kit, and in the hope all who use it will also endeavor to improve the design.
