centrifugal pump

centrifugal pump

Description

the 3rd pump I attempted . this one worked well but in my first testing the housing cracked and lost a bunch of flow and pressure. It survived over 12 hours and was still going strong, however with the crack the fitment of the cover changed and it started to rub on the impeller( quick fix sand down where it was rubbing and use super glue to fix the crack. I tested the pump with a different front cover and noticed a bunch of turbulence before the inlet so i but a little cone on it to help with vacuum drawing and flow . This pump worked decently but not really the fit for the application I intended so I decided on the internal gear pump, and will likely focus on improving that unit over this , but I do have some room for improvement. Needs 1 shaft as well as 3x m3 x10mm bolts, and 4x m3x4 mm bolts as well as the housing impeller and front cover printed . output port is g1/8 that i tapped for tapered pipe . I will have a video out comparing the 3 pumps . soon youtube video link: other pumps https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5389559 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5389540
