    • Here are 2 examples that you can do. Get a tankless propane water heater. OR. Get a black bucket or jug. FIll with water. Print a valve of some type to release the water to hose. Make a valve vent. Control that valve vent for water pressure. Make the jug or bucket removable. Make video on start to finish. Black attracts heat. WHITE or Clear reflects heat.

  • I'm wondering, as it's sort of the topic of this video what you do with all the plastic waste that you get from failed prints, prototypes, stand offs, supports, etc. I know space to overly worry about such things is going to be tight living in a van so basically I'm wondering what you do with it all and if you bother keeping it all and recycling it etc. Is there a, way to recycle it yourself whilst on the move or what are your other options? Thanks enjoyed the video and found learning a bit more about solar showers and seeing your solution to the problem whilst on the move and waste water bottles, or at least these few bottles (every bit helps) quite interesting and informative, despite the fail.

  • I think it would have saved a lot of filament if you designed the tubes to be a square profile and rotated so that it can print with just a minimal amount of support. Also, welding gaps with a soldering iron is a great way to get rid of seams in a design like this. Anyways, understand that this was a design exercise and maybe others have already pointed this out. Also, FYI PETG isn't made from recycled PET bottles. I don't think I've actually seen PETG advertised as made from recycled PET bottle, maybe it exists but they would definitely advertise it heavily as such. The one you linked is just normal PETG.

  • @MorleyKert I think the point of taking on these projects is it builds experiences for making that truly useful idea. In this video, you had to approach many problems concerning water tightness, threading, and learned valuable lessons in alignment, splitting prints, and more. This project may not have been practical, but the next project will benefit from your insights and experience gained, and you will come up with better ideas because you failed beforehand. Failure is just iteration. Can't wait to see what you make next. Keep it up.

  • Cut the bottoms off the bottles and just leave them screwed in place and fill with a bucket?? Solves the vacuum and the spillage when flipping issues. If you left enough of a lip on the cut off you could use the bottle bottoms like lids to minimise heat loss. Also I have seen videos of people stripping down plastic drinking bottles and melting it into filament that they use in their 3D printer - is that an option for all the bottles you want to recycle?

  • Here could be some Updates on the design: Update Refill Ways 1. make some male ends for the top caps so you can just put 1 bottle in at a time (the pressure might be higher but idk) 2. makes it so you can put the empty bottles on the roof without water in them then just make a 2nd one of these but with a hose so you can hold it higher than the empty bottles then you could just 3d print a tap then screw your shower head on so no water fell out of the bottom How to make it Hotter: 1. add a tin foil wall type thing so it can get more sun rays to heat it 2. MORE BOTTLES, make you capacity bigger 3. Print it in black P.S. I really liked your video so i bought my first 3D printer Nice video 🙃🙃

  • To expand on Morley's math at the end of the video, on earth an ABS pipe solar shower would be the eqivilent of adding about 3m² of solar panels to the van. Math: The Solar irradiance(how bright the sun is) is 1kW on the surface. A 3m long, 6" dia solar shower has a surface area of ~ 1.47m². Even under ideal conditions only 50% of that will be in direct sun, so 0.74m². ABS pipe absorbs ~95% fo the light that hits it(aproxamated using the value for "Black plastic" in an IR emisivity table), this means that the ABS pipe solar shower can absorb 700W. Solar panals are

  • I think the draw of these projects is that you’re 50% maker but also 50% artist. Making someone else’s design is great for knowing something will be functional and have all the kinks worked out already but it doesn’t scratch that creative itch that artist’s brains need. I have the same problem when it comes to doing crafts that need patterns (knitting, crossstitch, latchhook, etc). I like the end product but it takes me far longer to complete them than a painting or sculpting something because I need that creative itch to boost my motivation and focus 😂 Edit to add: I absolutely love Eden keeping things real about why laundry was necessary! As a pet owner, I felt that in my soul 😂❤

  • The thing with bottle caps is that they aren't an exact fit on purpose. Like many other mechanical water seals, they only fully close once the threads are engaged and under some pressure. You could have most likely solved this by making the cap less tall so that it bottoms out sooner, clamping the rim of the bottle to the bottom of the cap. Either way, I can't imagine this is cheaper than the solar shower bags you can buy at any camping goods store, and the waste you created by printing this probably outweighs the production emissions for a single one of those (as they're mass produced), but a use for water bottles is always good. It's insane that almost all recycling is still just trashed in the end because no manufacturer wants to pay for the process of recycling plastic when buying new, clean material is cheaper and more efficient.

  • Morley, any invention goes through several tries and re-engineering .... just because something already exists doesn't mean you can't improve upon the design. I, for one, commend you for your thinking "out of the bottle". If I may.... I would make a cube structure for the tubes (infinitely less spider like, and infinitely less cool looking I know!)... this should give you more meat, less leaking and easy placement on top of the van. Design a "vertical swivel structure" to attach to your cube.... allows you to turn over and screw-in bottles once filled up, turn back to have bottles drip......and I would install it on top of the van so that the sun can heat the water.... good luck and don't get discouraged! This was a very cool attempt!

  • you need a bottle inside a bottle, the outer bottle clear, the inner bottle dark, that traps the heat and makes it reflect constantly into itself, that's how most plastic-bottle based handcrafted shower heaters are usually made. and you just tape 2-3 bottles together and and up with like 4-6 water holes, aligned to be connected to a single pipe sideways, you could 3dprint a lot of that, but you need to put actual face thickness and not skip on the infill, as its going to need some strength.

  • If you're looking at saving water and energy, a recirculating shower is ideal, as you're just filtering and re-using the same warm water rather than having to heat cold fresh water. it's a bit of an engineering and plumbing challenge involving pumps, multiple filters, tanks, valves and heat exchangers, but also a great project to get your teeth into!

  • cutting off the bottoms of the bottles would solve the suction created when its running. it would also solve the issue of flipping full bottles over trying to screw them in. You can fill them all while they're already attached. You could also set it up during a rainstorm to fill them. It definitely feels like time/space/resources better spent on a different project though. the space this uses up would be better used for an additional battery for example. It's out of the way when in use, but it needs a storage space when not sitting on the roof.

  • 18:00 "What are you doing?" is what I as asked when I saw this monstrosity in the thumbnail. The way you designed the pipes to all converge at the center, dividing it in 4 pieces that are going to have angled seems that you super glue and caulk to try to seal, and only 0.05 inch wall thickness... If you were to ever try this again then I would suggest making it more modular by having 4x of a piece that connects 4 bottles together and 1x of a piece that connects those 4 pieces together, all designed with 45 degrees as the max overhang so that it shouldn't need supports, and at least 2-3mm SOLID walls is recommended for PETG prints to hold water.

  • This is true for most things, usually your time has to be worthless for it to make sense to build just about anything these days provided it exists as a product, but then you’d miss out on all the experience instead. Even though a particular design even turns out to be completely useless you do gain a lot of experience going through the design phases that will be beneficial down the line next time, and knowing what didn’t work is also useful experience. The reason seasoned designers are so good at what they do is that they’ve already solved most issues and done most of design before, so they’re just integrating previous solutions instead of coming up with everything from scratch. Electronics is a good example, I have a lot of circuit “design blocks” in my notes that solve a particular problem, so half of a project is just copy pasting previous modules together which makes things so much easier.

You could simply throw one up there a couple of hours before you need a shower. Cover with some plexi-glass and you will dramatically increase your efficiency.

I agree with you in terms of wanting to finish and try out something even when you're not sure of the outcome on the off chance you might just be striking something that will enrich you, even if just mentally or spiritually. Of course, we need to be careful not to spend too much of that time only on play, but it's important to let yourself be open to these experiences and the opportunity to not succeed in the way you wanted to but learning through that all the same.

Also, what if.... doing this, it creates ideas for other uses where say an ABS pipe could not be used. How much space does the pipe take? Is it as portable? I was also wondering, what if on each bottle, you printed a valve adapter? Then you could attach, turn "on", attach that to the grid with out loosing water, then when all are on, you "off" the valves and then the water flows? Not sure if the valve could also have a breather port to prevent the vacuum? Just thinking out loud. Keep up all the GREAT work!! 👊

  • The sealing mechanism on many plastic drink bottles, such as the bottles in the video is a small conical section on the top of the cap, where the angled part of the cone section seals against the inside of the mouth. (imagine the cap has a complete cone with a base dia.>the mouth id stuck to the inside, the threads of the cap will pull the cone into the mouth of the bottle pressing the sides of the cone into the mouth of the bottle, creating a seal. Now remove most of the cone, so that there is just enough of the cone left that it will still make a seal .) This requires A) the lid to be made of a somwhat flexible plastic, often HDPE and B), the angle of the cone relative to the interior wall of the mouth be fairly shallow(30-50⁸ ish).

  • actually, you did solve an interesting problem in how to make a 3d printed bottle of water cap. For that alone, the video was worth every second of what you consider a failure. Your commentary on the design love problem and the work-through to simplicity. Efficient simplicity is typically the result of the epiphanies of design iteration. As Elon Musk requoted "The Best Part is No Part". My interpretation of that is "The Best Design is the simplest that covers the real requirements." The issue sometimes is iterating the use case solutions until you understand what the real requirements actually are. In this case, using what you've learned, another solution that reduces battery load is to have a van-live passive solar heater as a repository for hotter water that can fill and add its prewarmed water load into the heater tank which will reduce the heater load on the battery without sacrificing the quality of the hot shower experience. Hot water is typically used for cleaning in the van thus it is 'gray' water after being used. The solar water heater's water becomes a secondary water source for the van without compromising or consuming as much of your pure water supply though you still need to the cold pure water infeeds and hot water outfeeds separate. Great video though!!!!🤪

  • If you use multiple spray nozzles to create a more efficient shower, you would need less energy to heat less water.

  • Maybe do some intensive testing with water. The prints are not watertight. Why I know, testing with different Gardena Connectors. First the seems to hold water, but after 1 day you see drops. Thats the issue, yes there are methods form printing watertight. My solution is to dunk the print in a chemical to fill the gaps.

  • If you take the bottoms off the bottle and put up with no bottoms on it then add water to them once the entire piece including bottomless water bottle then add water from a bucket or what ever. You don’t need to replace water bottles anymore.

  • I tried making some tubes out of PETG for a hydroponics setup. What I found was that the perpendicular parts are watertight, but the parts that print parallel or daigonal to the bed end up being leaky. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Yeah I definitely would have made the center part one piece and then had each water bottle holder and tube a separate part that screws or fits into the base piece. Then, each water bottle holder would have mounting points to connect them all together with braces. This way, you could easily iterate the design and beef it up without having to reprint the entire thing. You could beef up the braces by just reprinting the braces. This is the instance where modularity is key.

  • Hi!Like your videos and I have a question.Why don’t you use a fire?Like there is fuel for fire everywhere for free,and u can use it even for hot water at some way,not even speaking about everything that u can do with it,how much electricity usage can save just by using traditional methods

  • The value of making something that is not functional reminds me of @simonegiertz and her "Shitty" robots she started with. Sometimes it's not about the destination, it's about the journey, which seems like the theme of your channel. Cheers.

  • I really admire your knowledge, skill, and perserverance. Even if it wasn't as successful as you had hoped, just think the next great idea might be more successful than you imagined. It was also a great brain exercise. On another note, I am worried about you traveling in Mexico. I hope you and Eden stay safe,
