I’ve been developing a new vessel shape in blender, but when I went to run my next print, the print immediately failed, and I was out of clay in the canister.

I am searching for a locking ring for the push to connect valves, hoping to fix the disconnection issues I’ve been having. Since I am unsure of the name of the exact push to connect product, I found a few lock rings that might fit, but ultimately I decided that I should print them myself.

I’ve converted the printer back to plastic for a few days while I prep and load a new canister of clay.
I also plan to use the newer model of the canister (square-ish), which will need a new harness as well. The round canister was quite difficult to get apart again, stressed my hands, could use a better way to hold the body (wrench works fine to turn lid)

STL file for silver 1/2″ push to connect
STL file for brass 1/2″ push to connect (1.5mm thicker)

As a follow up a month later I’ve had no disconnect yet with regular printing.
