those should get the 'hamster in the wheel' going in your brain lol

Thanks very much ..... I have now ready them all and there are lots of interesting ideas.

I like the double buckets for dutch buckets and I also like the NFT system you linked .....

Lots to think about

[shirehorse99]

I've got an STL for those Dutch buckets somewhere. Take a while to print though

[cojmh]

I would be interested in that STL if you don't mind sharing (and it is allowed?)

I assume that means you have a 3D printer too? Do you mind me asking what printer you use?

Cheers,

Been digging around you tube a lot and found this Australian chap (Hoocho) and he seems to have a lot of ideas and a lot of 3D printable designs for things.

Have you come across him and if so what do you think?

[shirehorse99]

yeah Hoocho is very good - follow him myself - but a lot of his stuff is us/australian sizes for 3d printing.

I did notice that .... but really the only thing basically that is different is the rectangular drain pipe they seem to have (100mm by 50mm) and there are a couple of options:

1. We use flat ventilation ducting (which is 110mm by 54mm external dimensions) - but this seems to be a bit more expensive and harder to get in longer lenghts

or

2. we modify the models to work with 65mm by 65mm square drain pipe that is pretty common here in the UK ....

Just currently exploring the viability of both at the moment
