Two Inch Subsurface Gold Dredge Tube - 3D File (Suction Nozzle Sold Separately)
This little thing is awesome!
This file does not include the suction nozzle, which is purchased separately.
With both files, you have everything you need to setup your very own electric bilge pump powered gold dredge!
For the floats, you can screw on most plastic pop bottles, I like the 1 liter smart water bottles for a nice wide and stable platform.
File format is .3mf
Print volume required is 250 tall and 220 wide.

I would recommend printing this out of PETG-HF if you don’t have an enclosed printer, or if you have the Bamboo Labs P1S that I have been using, ASA is UV proof and prints very easily! I have not yet tested any of the more advanced filaments like carbon fiber nylon, but I can say that both ASA and PETG are plenty strong for this application. The 3MF file you will download includes a variety of thread on hose adaptors for various hoses I have found. Please check out my YouTube videos in the future as I will go over hoses I have tried so far. In Canada I really like the Greenline Hose and Fittings G941GT-200 as it’s the perfect balance of weight and flexibility for this application. It seems very similar to the industry standard Kuriyama Tigerflex WH-200 which is officially sold as dredge hose. You can make this thing as many sections long as you like, I would recommend 3 to 4 sections as a good setup.
Print volume required is a height of 250mm and the lay down parts are up to 215mm long.
Remember to check your local regulations regarding the use of a suction gold dredge in your area.
PS: The drop riffle profile is just the first prototype. I have not yet completed extensive testing on fine gold. When I get time to do a full series of tests, I will release the updated riffle profile to those who have already downloaded this original design.
