Dimensional accuracy is critical for these caps to prevent leaks. Water-safe materials are mandatory.

FDM/Filament Settings (Recommended for Structure & Size)

Material: PETG or ABS/ASA are highly recommended due to their resistance to water contact and durability requirements.
Layer Height: 0.2 mm or 0.16 mm. Use a finer layer height for better threading/fitting surfaces.
Infill Density: 20-30%. Necessary for structural integrity under hose pressure.
Wall/Perimeter Count: 4. Crucial for strength and preventing porosity.
Supports (CRITICAL): Supports are NOT REQUIRED.

SLA/Resin Settings (Recommended for Detail)

Material: ABS-Like UV Resin (ensure it’s structurally sound).
Layer Height: 0.05 mm or finer.
Supports: SUPPORTS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
Calibration: Ensure your resin printer is calibrated for minimal dimensional shrinkage.

Important: Dimensional calibration is essential! We recommend printing a test piece before batch printing to ensure everything fits tightly.

Assembly & Installation

🛠️ Preparation & Post-Processing Steps

These parts require proper cleaning and careful assembly to prevent leaks.
