# This OSAT is a light-duty garden hose splitter that can be used to split water streams from a common garden hose nozzel. <ref> web page: Appropedia Pulley Main Page, Available: http://www.appropedia.org/Garden_Hose_Splitter</ref>. This splitter can be customized to any desired size, and can be paired with multiples of itself to further increase splitage.
Water is one of the most important aspects of life all over the world, arguably the most important. So it is critical to have a robust infrastructure that can handle the demands of water, whether they be for survival, or agriculture or it's million of other uses.
So for this project I build a simple garden hose splitter.

# Modify .scad file to use your hose type
## US: "garden hose thread", which is 3/4" straight thread and a pitch of 11.5 TPI (male part has an outer diameter of 1 1⁄16 inches (26.99 mm)) and is used for 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" hoses
## Non-US: Outside the United States, the more common BSP standard is used, which is 3/4" and 14 TPI (male part OD is 26.441 mm or 1.04 in)
# Slice file using your favorite slicer.
# Print part
# Apply tape or adhesive material to threading to create good connection
It takes about two and a half hours to print if using 50% infill.
