Use this to attach a 10mm internal diameter hose to a portable air conditioner's drainage outlet. This one is specifically for a Mistral MA10KR/D - I have no idea if there's any standard at play!
This was designed by pressing clay into the threads of the end cap that otherwise covers the airconditioner's outlet, and using calipers to measure the characteristics of the thread. It took a few iterations to fit nicely, but now it's pretty much spot-on!
Where this part is really useful is when running the unit as a dehumidifier (you know, such as when it's in a room full of filament), in which case the machine would otherwise fill its internal reservoir and shut down in short order. This way, you can pipe it outside, or simply into a larger container. If the latter, though, you obviously want to keep the container sealed to avoid evaporation and rehumidification!
Nothing too scary, a few angled faces, but nothing that should be a significant issue. I printed with a 0.4mm nozzle.
