A drop-in tank baffle to reduce water sloshing around in a campervan's water tank while driving. Similar concept to "baffle balls" - see Youtube for examples.

You should print as many of these as you can fit into your tank, and insert them through the access port. The idea is that the cone lets water enter and leave the internal volume relatively slowly - which reduces water moving around in the tank, causing handling problems when you brake and turn the vehicle.
Produces a 160x160mm (x/y) 146mm (z) cone to drop into tanks with 8" lids. The design should scale down nicely in your slicer, for smaller tanks. Each cone displaces 72mL of liquid in your tank, and uses roughly 100g of PETg to print.
