Description

PDF

This is a fully parametric funnel for car use, but it could be used for other applications (e.g. dishwasher salt, refilling containers etc.). I designed this after I couldn't find an appropriate funnel for refilling the screenwash in my car (2018 Suzuki Swift), but it's fully parametric so it can be customised and printed for other applications.

It has a rim which means it can sit on top of a nozzle or bottle etc., and if the opening is measured using calipers, the fit can be relatively snug.

If you want to modify parameters in OpenSCAD, you will need BOSL2.

Parameters

The included STL file is made using the default parameters indicated below.

ParameterExplanationDefault/included STL value
$fnNumber of line segments - can raise or lower this to give a more perfect circle at the expense of render time and STL file size.80
funnel_heightHeight of the funnel in mm50
funnel_top_diamTop diameter of the funnel in mm80
pipe_diamOuter diameter of the pipe in mm34
funnel_rest_diamRest/rim diameter in mm50
funnel_thicknessThickness of the funnel material in mm - 1mm prints fine on my printer but you may want to increase this for more strength.1
inner_depthDepth of the inner part that sits inside the nozzle/bottle.10

Printing

On my printer (Creality K1C), it prints fine in standard PLA with the funnel opening touching the build plate. I would use a brim to make sure there is enough bed adhesion, especially with thinner funnels.
