petr_patter Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) 3D printed and ready for real world testing. Edited April 18, 2018 by petr_patter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonvice Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Looks cool. I want one. lol petr_patter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr_patter Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I hope it works as designed. It is a nozzle that should alternate flow in different directions due to some fluid dynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Interested in seeing it in action. Vivid is making one to sell too based on the same principal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr_patter Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yeah they took the idea from someones design on Thingiverse and are now making a bunch of money on it. I thought that I would try and design one my self and see if I cant replace my 2 nozzles in my tank to provide an alternating flow instead of a constant stream.

petr_patter Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 First test in tank with only return pump on. Flounder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 From the surface agitation it appears you got the circular motion you wanted! petr_patter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr_patter Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yeah it is a little hard to see since I don’t have bubbles or food partials but it is changing the direction of the flow like I wanted. Once I get a external test rig up I can put a small amount of air into the pump to show it a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flounder Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Are you going to sell these to the forum? If not would you share some details of how I can set my 3D printer up and make my own? Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They turned out well for the flow I am putting through them. (About 1500gpm) it really does make random flow patterns. If I were to put them on a smaller system I would probably use smaller loc-Line and make a smaller nozzle. I think they would work awesome in a closed loop setup since you could crank up the flow but since it is going through my sump it can’t go any faster.
