Some pumpers have size concerns with the available Pfallosan chambers. I had the idea of making a 3D print of a chamber which can be integrated with the PF system. This was my first 3D print so I didn't know what to expect. I had this done by an experienced 3D printing business which uses advanced materials. The biggest problem when you want to mimic the [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]Phallosan[/words] chamber is that the pump is attached to the complex top part of the chamber which I think is impossible to copy on a Computer Aided Design program. Therefore I want to connect a CPC hose coupling to the chamber and use it with a ball vacuum pump.
The 3D print arrived today and I tested it right away. Unfortunately there is a leak at the top because air was interefering the printing process. I will use instant liquid adhesive to cope with that. I just tested the chamber with scotch tape and it was good to go. For the CPC valve I have to make a thread into the plastic. Drilling a thread into plastic may be tricky and I don't know whether the chamber survives this. CPC valves are only available as tapered threads, namely NPT and BSPT. Previously I assumed it was a parallel BSP thread. Long story short I have to order a tap with which I can make the thread. Also I still have to order the CPC valves which are a little bit difficult to obtain if you don't have a prof. business yourself.
