Difference between revisions of "Carburator drainer (Q745099)"

I made this to help me with draining my friends carburators(straight 4 line engine). It makes it possible to drain all four at the same time with no hassle. This is the second thing I made in 3D. Note: ABS plastics WILL disolve when in contact with gasoline. This was printed in both ABS and Ultem. I left both in a bath of gasoline over night and the ABS part got disolved. This does not really matter since the gasoline is drained and won't be used again, just remember to clean it after use. For those of you that want to, you can try to cover it in 2K Clear, this should eliminate leakage(not really a problem if hung correctly, the gasoline will drain before it leaks) and it should keep the model from dissolving. 2K Clear can be bought pretty much everywhere in a can. Once the seal is broken the can must be used and I would recommend to use it all on this model to get a nice layer of clear, I would imagine the first 2 or three layers will get into the pours of the model so just keep on spraying acording to the instructions for your 2K Clear provider. The ULTEM model worked like a charm. This project was made possible by www.protech.se
