Pretty cool, that's beyond just DIY that these projects often are, it actually had a lot of thought and work put into it. That pump housing and impeller design is sharp. 

Love that we can do stuff like this with modern tools today. Wish he woulda shown it at work in the stream though.

One thing I run into with durability of 3d printed parts is it's really hard to print stuff like tube/elongated things because they come apart at the layer lines. I'd be curious what the durability of the subsurface housing and nozzle is like. I use carbon fiber nylon for my stuff, sounds like that's what he's using too. It's pretty burly, but still has layer line adhesion issues under force.
