Abstract
Many developing third-world countries have a steady or increasing need for clean drinking water. Many solutions for achieving clean drinking water already exist, but require expensive manufacturing equipment outside the area where there is a need, and then incur shipping charges to ship them to the target location. 3D printing technologies allow rapid manufacture of humanitarian-aid devices such as water purification tools. This printable design requires some filament (preferable ABS), a tea bag, and activated carbon to create. This allows the user to drink filtered water on-demand from and standard plastic water or pop bottle.
Bill of Materials
- One bag holder: [STL] https://www.dropbox.com/s/m304isdsx3zttvk/bagHolder.stl?dl=0 [OpenSCAD] https://www.dropbox.com/s/8o9cin6t8afvpzx/bagHolder.scad?dl=0
- One bottle cap: [STL] https://www.dropbox.com/s/newoc354qbt4e34/bottle_cap.stl?dl=0 [OpenSCAD] https://www.dropbox.com/s/vygh1cng4045tv7/bottleCap.scad?dl=0( Bottle cap also required thread component: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xcsaov23rt63dbe/Thread_Library.scad?dl=0)
- One tea bag
- activated carbon ( about a teaspoon)
Costs
The activated carbon was obtained by cutting open a $6 Breta water filter (if bought in a six pack for $24) from Walmart. the carbon from one filter was able to fill 12 tea bags, making the carbon cost per bag $0.50. Activated carbon may likely be found cheaper than by using this method.
Tea bags are available from Walmart in 100-count boxes for $3.50, yielding a unit price of $0.04 if rounded up.
Cura estimates both parts will cost $0.51 to print.
Total cost: $0.50 + $0.04 + $0.51 = $1.05
Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT
- MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
- No other tools!

Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
