Creekboy Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 This is a 3D printed blue bowl version 1, it worked amazing for doing my last big clean up and sucked the sand away very quickly. I didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg so I built my own, leave an e-mail if you want the file. The whole project cost me less than 30 bucks or so. Parts: -172 GPH Pump -3/8 Tubing -On/Off Valve -12 #10-24x1in Screws -9 #10 Washers -Rectangle Tub -Small Bucket -Printed Parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LipCa Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Nice for a DYI.... How much of the "3D printed blue bowl" is "3D"? Looks like maybe only the brackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like maybe only the brackets? The whole bowl is 3D printed as one piece as well as the brackets. It’s like a 1/3 scale of any regular blue bowl, with the lip around the rim and everything. Only the hardware, pump and tubs are store bought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1dn1ghtN1nj4 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Very nice. You can tell the bowl is printed because of the form of the top layer around the rim, and the layer lines down the side. Do you have an STL for it? I might try to make that, but adapt my 120LPH pumps to it (it's what I have, so it's what I'll use). This could be a neat integration. My sluice box, for the next version, will change to be used with a 5 gallon bucket. MUCH more capacity and runtime. Seems you already have little brackets that go on the bucket, so that's a pretty nice start. How long did this take you to design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This took me a day or so to rough out but i’d say three or four more to troubleshoot and refine. Here is the link I just made https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3082273 Make sure to print with supports. Let me know if you run into any issues!

LipCa Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hey, that's good. when I saw "bucket" in your list, somehow I thought that was the "black bucket". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creekboy Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 @LipCa Thanks, I’m just trying to help people avoid paying outrageous amounts for China’s overpriced plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
