Water Squirting Nozzles by LudwigVanHarrigan

Last crawled date: 2 years, 10 months ago

Various nozzles and mounting hardware for squirting water. I designed this system for use on an FRC robot, but it's wonderfully versatile and can be used anywhere you want. Good for about 25 feet with a ~0.5GPM (2lpm) pump.
Includes nozzles ranging from 1.5mm to 4mm, several mounting plates, and a servo-mounted turret for motorized aiming.
This system works with standard aquarium tubing (3/16"), or anything flexible and slightly smaller than 6mm (~1/4") ID. 1/4" tube is a bit loose and leaks water. Tubing should be press-fit, and if your printer's layer adhesion is pretty good you can pull the tubing off afterward without hurting the nozzle.
A good pump to use is RobotGeek's Large Liquid Pump (https://www.robotgeek.com/large-liquid-pump), which is 0.5gpm and will shoot around 25 feet with the 2mm nozzle, and can really drench someone with the 3mm nozzle.
Nozzles can be attached to a through-hole from the front using the mounts, or from the back using hose clamps. Use the large mount plate with wood screws to attach a nozzle to a board (1" thick works well).
The nozzles should be printed tip down. Support is not needed other than a raft or brim to keep them from popping off.
At some point I'll finish this up with more detailed instructions for use (and updated nozzles), but for now it's a Work in Progress.
