Print at highest quality possible. Parts are designed for strict
tolerances. If your printer is not well aligned, you will get imperfect
rotational bodies that will jam rotation. Clean parts carefully and
break in rotating parts to make them run smoothly. You will have to cut
or sand bumps and edges on the upper and lower flanges where the runner
fits tightly in the housing.
My first attempt was printed at 0,1mm layer height and 25% infill.
The shaft was printed with 100% infill. Housing, runner and cover plate
need support structures, all other part printed nicely without support.
Support structures "touching build plate" will suffice. The housing part
is supported by the internal blades. Some imperfect ceilings because of
too big bridging distances are not visible when assembled. The handle
prints with the flange layed flat on the build plate. Add brim support
to give additional adhesion.
The handle is designed for a standard european thread. I think
there's only one, don't ask me for the exact size or specification. Just
took the measures from the original shower head. Maybe I will add other
sizes later, if requested.
No gaskets used yet. Parts are fitting tightly enough to let no water
spray out. Some water dripping out does not bother me too much.
Use M3x10 and M3*16 machine screws. I also tried countersunk head
wood screw M3x12 and it works very well. Drill the holes a little bit to
get a proper cone fit.
