Clack WS1 Injector Cap Socket

[Cliffyk]

Hello all,

I haven't posted here in a bit, been in hospice for a few months, but I tricked them and didn't die. I don't know if anyone here is into MSLA 3D printing, however I thought this might be of use to someone...

When I got out I found that the moron my wife hired to replace the media in our old iron & sulfur filter had re-plumbed the WS1 valve and run the discharge across the front of the valve, behind the control housing, and then toward the rear, around the injector cover--making it impossible to get Clack's spanner on the cap!

So I fired up FreeCAD, a really neat CAD 3D application, and designed a 1/2" drive "socket" to fit the cap.

Here's the finished product, after one use:

Here's what it looks like in FreeCAD:

And in the Chitubox 3D slicing application ready to print:

For those who do 3D printing here's a link to the models .stl file.

If anyone wants the FreeCAD file give me a "yell". This is 100% my original work, I hereby grant use and reuse rights, but would appreciate recognition in any published info....
