Heads up! I made a new, better version of this. You can find it at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:926015.
I will leave this old one up, but it is no longer supported. I highly recommend you print the new version.
The plate on a standard bathtub "overflow drain" pulls water from the bottom. This means the maximum water level can never go above the bottom of the overflow plate.
To increase the maximum water level, I created this "High Tide" overflow plate that drains from the top. Now you can add a few inches of water to your bath!
The guide lines on the front help you know when to turn the water off. For example, for me, when the water fills to the third line, I know to stop the water. Then when I displace the water by getting in, the water level rises to just below the drain top.
There are two options: Regular height and "Tall." Use "Tall" for overflow drains installed especially low.
Use 100% Silicone Bathroom Caulk to get a good seal. See instructions for specifics.
