anyone know where I can get these hose tails:

I just need the stepped adapters. I cut mine to handle 1' hose and now I need them back to where I can put 1/2" on them. American Aquarium is out of them and no one else has them in the U.S. that I can find.

3d print them? Should be a pretty easy print. I've done similar for a Sicce Silent 1.0 (the one on the left) and it has been in service for over two years.

I thought about it. I may give it a whirl.

And why, in tarnation, wouldn't you print them?

Dunno. Guess I had a fitting leak once and that’s why. But maybe this time will be better.

I was looking at buying a used UV that was missing them and couldnt source them anywhere. Even reached out to American Aquarium with no luck.

I didn't have a 3d printer at the time, but that is a fantastic idea now that I have one!

@dantimdad if you print them, would you be willing to share or link me to the file?
