Version 1 fit check next to a factory T. Modifications already made in FreeCad, version 2 will get printed tomorrow. This works in TPU, so I probably won't have to mess with molds for silicone!

Why? You obviously haven’t tried to find (or purchase) a replacement exhaust T for a Conshelf XIV lately. AFAIK, Amron is the only place that I have found them and although priced reasonably, shipping eats you up! They’re on my wish list, for sure. Besides, if I’ve gotta build a Con 14 Octo, that yellow looks super!Looks good, but why?
Mostly because I can. And because I like ensuring quality gear is supportable forever.Looks good, but why?
It's been tried, and does cause a freeflow as you mentioned. Closest to it is one manufacturer (I don't remember which) has a super wide exhaust T that is open on the bottom for the outer portions, so it channels the air back without keeping it enclosed (so it won't pull a vacuum). Honestly, the DAAM/RAM type double hose regs are still plentiful enough it might be easiest for you to go that route.I think it would be so cool to make long exhaust port or fittings for hoses that go behind your head and include some sort of bubble diffuser which would better facilitate macro photography. If someone made a circular end, maybe some vinyl, off the shelf hose could be secured and used? Sorta like a double hose? Would it set up a vacuum and freeflow the reg?
Guess I didn't know about lack of availability of Conshelf replacement parts. Should have looked before commenting. Nice design btw.Mostly because I can. And because I like ensuring quality gear is supportable forever.
It is an odd question for the DIY forum though, lol!
