Boil water in the microwave with a coffee mug then stick the cut portion of the hose into the hot water to soften it for 30 sec or so. That fitting will go on with ease and without lubrication. I really like practical 3D prints! Nice video.
Can you do a 3d print of a compressor hose? For example a bicycle pump are a smaller hose which for some reason home depot and other hard ware store don't sell.
Any reason you didn't cut the end of the hose off square before attaching it to your coupling? Seems like having that fairly square would help everything seat better and have more even stresses on the part.
I considered that, and after a month it is still holding strong. It's printed at 100% solid infill, and solid infill is rectalinear, so it should have fairly solid structure with the layer striations as least being two dimensional. If it ever does have issues, I agree that sideways may be a good answer.
I just started printing couplers for my hose. I falled twice, but your video has given me the steps for round three!
I was enjoying this already, then you busted out the boring company flame thrower! Amazing.

That’s a great tip. I do this for drip irrigation fittings, not sure why I made my life so hard here lol!
I've seen others use a swaging tool to stretch out vinyl tubing, I wonder if it would work here.

U need Teflon tape when going from metal to plastic

No reason, just completely forgot to do it ahead of time. I agree though that it would be best to square it off.
cool project, please do more of these videos.
Thank you so much for checking it out. I will definitely do some more!
Awesome, this is why we love 3D printing. Please could you do some more?
Your print would be much stronger if you were to print it on it's side. Otherwise it could de-laminate because of the orientation of the layers.

This video is more like "How to make everything the wrong way"
Why don't you print it a bit smaller so it will fit?
What I should have done is heat the hose with hot water. The size was pretty on point once properly installed.
