Customizable vaping drip tip, cap and horizontal adapter. by magonegro

Stop smoking, start vaping. It is healthier, cheaper, cleaner, safer, cool, and makes a great hobby from wich you can grab lots of knowledge in DIY, electronics and also lots of new friends.
Said this... recently I broke some of my drips and designed this customizer to build my own. Included is an TFV8 / TFV8 Big baby standard drip. Use the customizer to build your own. After printing (PET/ABS plastic recommended, don't even think about using PLA due to its low vitreous transition temp) a bit of sanding/washing could be required for comfort. Also baseplate support required. I made this customizer because it bothered me designing drip tips from time to time. Added a cap for the tip and an horizontal vaping adapter in case your mod is large like mine, this acomplishes a more natural hand and head position for vaping, more like a pipe, while keeping the tank vertical.
With this customizer I have just one design for all drips and lots of time saved. Printed mine in ABS, after testing it I have replaced ALL my drips with these as I feel them more comfortable than originals, and cheap, very very cheap heheh.
Come on! Start using customizer to build your own !!!
Enjoy!
Other thoughts:
I am wondering about making them in semiflex... Sometimes I don't like to feel the hard touch of the drip on my teeth, and beside this, we could achieve a better seal with the tank without the use of O-rings, so the entire drip is a O-ring.... Please report your makes/suggestions to keep enhancing this... Also thinking about attaching a silicone pipe to the drip like a sisha machine for easy vaping while lying in the sofa watching movies hahah
UPDATE (9-JUN-2017): Added an optional 90 degree adapter for horizontal vaping. This part requires buildplate support.
UPDATE (8-JUN-2017): Added an optional convenient cap ;-)
UPDATE (06-JUN-2017): TFV8 models: Removed rings from insertion part as there's no need of them if you are not going to use o-rings. Increased diameter of insert to 12.7mm for a better fit (noticed that 12.4 wasn't enough). Works great for me. Added a longer 22mm TFV8 drip model.
